Contents
Description
The R-41-class, R-41 is a rank I German minesweeper
with a battle rating of 1.0 (AB/RB/SB). It was introduced in Update 1.79 "Project X" as part of the fleet closed beta test.
General info
Survivability and armour
The R-41 is mostly wooden. Both the superstructure and hull are wooden. The wooden construction of the R-41 means fire is a tangible threat, and the hull will not absorb so much damage. There is no armour on the ship beyond its basic construction. However, the internal components of the R-41 are spaced out, meaning a good volley/ burst will not completely incapacitate the ship. The R-41 has a crew of 34, which affords some damage survivability.
Mobility
The R-41 is slow. At a mere 48.7 KPH (30.3 MPH) at its quickest, it is not going to be the first ship into the fray. The turning radius is decent, but it will not complete a loop quickly.
