Description

The S-100-class, S-100 is a rank II German motor torpedo boat with a battle rating of 2.3 (AB/RB/SB). It was introduced in Update 1.79 "Project X" as part of the fleet closed beta test.

The S-100 class was an improvement of a preceding S-38 class by installing a more powerful engine and adding gun shields to protect gunners from shrapnel. S-100 was sunk while anchored in Le Havre harbour, France on 15th June 1944.

General info

Survivability and armour

Armourfront / side / back
Hull40 mm (wood)
Superstructure4 mm (steel)
Number of section3
Displacement117 t
Crew21 people

The S-100, like most low tier ships, has limited armour protection. The bridge is protected by 12 mm of hardened armour, and the two rear turrets are similarly defended. None of the other components of the ship, such as the engines and fuel tanks, are protected.

Mobility

Speedforward / back
AB109 / 33 km/h
RB78 / 24 km/h

The S-100 is a fast and manoeuvrable at most speeds, making it an easy ship to control and play.

The usual route of researching modules should be taken: Tool Set and Fire Protection System as first two vital modules. The next module to be researched that can aid the captain of a S-100 is smokescreen, helping evade enemy fire and launch torpedoes while withdrawing back into the cover of the smoke.

Armament

Primary armament

Turret2 cm/65 C/38 automatic cannon
Ammunition2000 rounds
Belt capacity40 rounds
Fire rate480 shots/min
Vertical guidance-5° / 60°
Turret2 x 2 cm/65 Flakzwilling 38 automatic cannon
Ammunition4000 rounds
Belt capacity40 rounds
Fire rate501 shots/min
Vertical guidance-5° / 60°

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

Turret3.7 cm FlaK-Lafette C/36 mounting
Ammunition2000 rounds
Belt capacity5 rounds
Fire rate250 shots/min

Some ships are fitted with weapons of various calibres. Secondary armaments are defined as weapons chosen with the control Select secondary weapon. Evaluate the secondary armaments 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 any anti-air armament, even heavy calibre weapons, belong in the next section. If there is no secondary armament, remove this section.

Anti-aircraft armament

2 х Turret7.92 mm MG15 machine gun
Ammunition1500 rounds
Belt capacity75 rounds
Fire rate1000 shots/min
Main article: MG 15 (7.92 mm)

One machine gun is mounted on either side of the bridge. Because of this, they have very limited traverse and are mostly ineffective against aircraft. However, they do have a high rate of fire.

Additional armament

Setup 14 x 533 mm G7a torpedo
Setup 24 x EMF moored magnetic mine
Setup 34 x 533 mm G7a torpedo
2 x EMF moored magnetic mine
Main articles: G7a (533 mm), EMF mine

The torpedo tubes are fixed to the hull of the ship, so torpedoes must be aimed by changing the direction of the vessel. They have a maximum speed of 81 km/h.

Usage in battles

The S-100 shares the same hull and playstyle as the S-38b. The key differences are the 3.7 cm auxiliary weapon and the limited AA firing angle. Although it's tempting to, turning broadside to use the centre-mounted dual cannons is ill-advised in most cases, as the hull is fragile. Using speed to deliver surprise attacks and flanking lone enemies is the way to go, but never attack a group when outnumbered. Captains may find the S-100 an effective destroyer hunter with this ship's high speed and effective torpedoes.

Pros and cons

Pros:

  • Slightly faster than the S-38b when fully upgraded with same mobility
  • Excellent fast-firing cannons with double the ammo capacity compared to its predecessor
  • 3.7 cm cannon has high rate of fire and no overheat, making very deadly against small ships and aircraft
  • Great torpedoes with convenient firing angle and excellent damage

Cons:

  • 3.7 cm cannon has limited arc and cannot shoot directly ahead
  • 7.92 mm MG 15 have limited firing angles and are ineffective as AA armament
  • Minimal hull protection

History

Describe the history of the creation and combat usage of the ship in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the ship and adding a block "/History" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Ship-name)/History) and add a link to it here using the main template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <ref></ref>, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <references />. This section may also include the ship's dev blog entry (if applicable) and the in-game encyclopedia description (under === In-game description ===, also if applicable).
