The '''{{Specs|name}}''' was a Soviet armoured gunboat developed in 1965, intended to replace the outdated [[Pr.191M]]. Initially, the plan was to mount the experimental PT-90 tank turret as the main cannon, but since the tank did not enter production, the boat received a [[D-56TS (76 mm)|76 mm D-56TS]] tank gun, in the same turret as the [[PT-76B]]. Production of the boat started in 1967, with a [[Pr.1204 late|further upgrade]] beginning in 1970. A total of around 118 Pr.1204s were built between 1967 and 1972. 56 boats were used by the Soviet Navy, while the remaining 62 were deployed by the Soviet Border Troops. Eventually, the Soviet Navy felt the boat was underperforming, and almost all were transferred to the Soviet Border Troops.

The '''{{Specs|name}}''' is a premium rank {{Specs|rank}} Russian armoured gun boat {{Battle-rating}}. It was introduced in [[Update 1.91 "Night Vision"]].
+
Introduced in [[Update 1.91 "Night Vision"]], the Pr.1204 performs similarly to its predecessor, the Pr.191 armoured boat, but it has better speed, making it a little bit easier to move around the map. Its main cannon, the 76 mm D-56TS, has both HE and APHE shells that can damage light and heavily armoured targets. It is also equipped with [[KPV (14.5 mm)|14.5 mm KPV]] heavy machine guns, capable of destroying enemy boats with a well-placed shot in a short time. Additionally, it carries [[YAM-43 mine|YAM-43]] small coastal mines that can be used to block enemy paths to strategic points.

Description

The Pr.1204 was a Soviet armoured gunboat developed in 1965, intended to replace the outdated Pr.191M. Initially, the plan was to mount the experimental PT-90 tank turret as the main cannon, but since the tank did not enter production, the boat received a 76 mm D-56TS tank gun, in the same turret as the PT-76B. Production of the boat started in 1967, with a further upgrade beginning in 1970. A total of around 118 Pr.1204s were built between 1967 and 1972. 56 boats were used by the Soviet Navy, while the remaining 62 were deployed by the Soviet Border Troops. Eventually, the Soviet Navy felt the boat was underperforming, and almost all were transferred to the Soviet Border Troops.

Introduced in Update 1.91 "Night Vision", the Pr.1204 performs similarly to its predecessor, the Pr.191 armoured boat, but it has better speed, making it a little bit easier to move around the map. Its main cannon, the 76 mm D-56TS, has both HE and APHE shells that can damage light and heavily armoured targets. It is also equipped with 14.5 mm KPV heavy machine guns, capable of destroying enemy boats with a well-placed shot in a short time. Additionally, it carries YAM-43 small coastal mines that can be used to block enemy paths to strategic points.

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 armaments separately. Don't forget to mention the size of the crew, which plays an important role in fleet mechanics. Save tips on preserving survivability for the "Usage in battles" section. If necessary, use a graphical template to show the most well-protected or most vulnerable points in the armour.

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.

Describe the available additional armaments of the ship: depth charges, mines, torpedoes. Talk about their positions, available ammunition and launch features such as dead zones of torpedoes. If there is no additional armament, remove this section.

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

Summarise 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".
