General info

Survivability and armour

Talk about the vehicle's armour. Note the most well-defended and most vulnerable zones, e.g. the ammo magazine. Evaluate the composition of components and assemblies responsible for movement and manoeuvrability. Evaluate the survivability of the primary and secondary armament separately. Don't forget to mention the size of the crew, which plays an important role in fleet mechanics. Save tips for preserving survivability in the "Use in battle" section.

If necessary, use a graphics template to show the most well-protected or most vulnerable points in the armour.

Mobility

Write about the ship’s mobility. Evaluate its power and manoeuvrability, rudder rerouting speed, stopping speed at full tilt, with its maximum forward speed and reverse speed.

Armament

Primary armament

Provide information about the characteristics of the primary armament. Evaluate their efficacy in battle based on their reload speed, ballistics and the capacity of their shells. Add a link to the main article about the weapon: {{main|Weapon name (calibre)}}.

Broadly describe the ammunition available for the primary armament, and provide recommendations on how to use it and which ammunition to choose.

Secondary armament

Some ships are fitted with weapons of various calibres. The secondary armament is defined as the weapon chosen with the control Select secondary weapon. Evaluate the secondary armament and give advice on how to use them. Describe the ammunition available for the secondary armament. Provide recommendations on how to use them and which ammunition to choose. Remember that anti-air armament, even heavy calibre weapons, belong in the next section.

If there is no secondary armament, remove this section.

Special armament

Depth charges, mines, rocket launchers and missiles are also effective in skilled hands and can take an off-guard opponent by surprise. Evaluate the ammunition of this type of armament and rate its performance in combat.

Usage in battles

Describe the technique of using this ship, the characteristics of her use in a team and tips on strategy. Abstain from writing an entire guide – don’t try to provide a single point of view, but give the reader food for thought. Talk about the most dangerous opponents for this vehicle and provide recommendations on fighting them. If necessary, note the specifics of playing with this vehicle in various modes (AB, RB, SB).

Pros and cons

Summarize and briefly evaluate the vehicle in terms of its characteristics and combat effectiveness. Mark its pros and cons in the bulleted list. Try not to use more than 6 points for each of the characteristics. Avoid using categorical definitions such as "bad", "good" and the like - use substitutions with softer forms such as "inadequate" and "effective".

History

Ha-Go Fighting Boat Model 1 (波號戦斗艇一型), also known Se-Ha (せは艇) was one of the first prototypes of small escort boats (小護衛艇) by the Imperial Japanese Army. It was designed to escort "Daihatsu"-class landing crafts that were transporting munitions to offshore islands.

In January 1944, the Imperial Japanese Army 10th Technical Research Institute ordered Hitachi Zosen Sakurajima shipyard to make two types of small escort craft. The first, called Ha-Go Fighting Boat Model 1 "Se-Ha" (Ha-Go meaning "Mark A"), was to be equipped with two 150 hp engines, and a second named the Ha-Go Fighting Boat Model 2 "Se-Ni" equipped with two 60 hp engines.

The Se-Ni was completed in October 1944 but the top speed was only 9 knots so the plan was cancelled. Se-Ha was eventually completed in December 1944, but after trials the engineers decided to try to modify the design to get more speed.

A third design, "Se-Ha Kai" was completed in July 1945. In a trial cruise during October 2-5, its speed reached 13 knots so research ended. By the surrender of Japan, it had not been formally adopted, but would have been officially named the Type 5 Small Escort Boat. ("Type 5" already in game is Large Escort Boat.)
