Your survivability depends on how fast you reload your KPV belts. So first thing to do - invest into a good belt reloading sailor, i.e. spend some points in reloading crew first.
−
<!-- ''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.'' -->
 
−
Positive aspects:
 
−
 
 
−
* The hull is made of 6 mm steel, this can stop some small calibre HE rounds and the occasional shrapnel.
 
−
* The armoured sections were designed to withstand rifle-calibres, and will not protect you against 20 mm AP and larger rounds.
 
−
 
 
−
Negative aspects:
 
−
 
 
−
* Armour doesn't cover 100% of any compartments, meaning any HE that pierces more than 5 mm can destroy any compartments except the superstructure
 
−
* Low crew of 14
 
−
* 85 mm ammo isn't protected by any armour plates

Primary gun on this boat is useless. It's only purpose to make boat look cool. Only reason there's no 3rd KPV turret is that enemy usually targets the primary gun, and this is why this turret exists - to draw enemy fire.

The 85 mm/54.6 ZIS-C-53 gun is one of the best guns you will ever find at this battle rating. This gun's HE is able to penetrate most if not all ships it faces, but it is recommended to keep a few APHE just in case.

Secondary armament consists of 2 turrets equipped with dual 14.5 mm KPVT heavy machine guns. The KPVT was designed to destroy light vehicles, and can penetrate up to 40 mm of RHA close up. This is not to be ignored, the round will go through the aircraft's armour and engines like butter, wrecking anything in its way. This also means the KPVT can deal significant damage to other PT boats.

14.5 mm KPV machine gun is the weapon of vengeance, terror and dismay. No other weapon in history, even Hiroshima bomb, haven't done so much damage as this terrifying invention. This gun outperforms even the best German analogues.

As AA guns, these will do well at close ranges up to 2,000 m. They will have difficulty against anything further away, and aren't well suited to attacking medium and large bombers.

The ship comes with 12 MIRAB mines. These mines are rather small, and should be used mostly against corvettes and smaller vessel.

Description

GarageImage Pr.191M.jpg


The Pr.191M is a rank III Soviet armoured gun boat with a battle rating of 3.0 (AB/RB/SB). It was introduced during Update 1.79 "Project X" when the Soviet fleet was implemented into the game.

General info

Survivability and armour

Your survivability depends on how fast you reload your KPV belts. So first thing to do - invest into a good belt reloading sailor, i.e. spend some points in reloading crew first.

Mobility

Mobility of Pr.191M is somewhat sufficient. You only need to move it once to get into firing position and start reaping souls.

Armament

Primary armament

Primary gun on this boat is useless. It's only purpose to make boat look cool. Only reason there's no 3rd KPV turret is that enemy usually targets the primary gun, and this is why this turret exists - to draw enemy fire.

Secondary armament

14.5 mm KPV machine gun is the weapon of vengeance, terror and dismay. No other weapon in history, even Hiroshima bomb, haven't done so much damage as this terrifying invention. This gun outperforms even the best German analogues.

Anti-aircraft armament

Your AA defence are mostly hopes and prayers, because with all carnage you cause to enemy team you won't have much time to react to threats from above. Find a babysitting buddy while you busy delivering more junk to ocean floor for coral reefs to grow on.

Torpedo armament

No torpedoes here, these are slow-moving beasts, and no torpedo is a match against 14.5mm whip of destruction which is your trusty KPV turret.

Special armament

Adding insults to your killing streaks seems to work best, as enemy will try to chase you down - good! let them come to you, don't waste precious diesel fuel.

Usage in battles

Common tactic is very simple. Point your boat towards the enemy at slight angle, hit alt+2, aim your crosshairs and put something heavy on left mouse button. Adjust fire trajectory if necessary. Repeat when target is dead. There's always more than one newb willing to jump on you with their sub-par weapons, this is the time to show them the legendary brutal power of Soviet weapons.

Pros and cons

Pros: This inadequately effective bad boy will effortlessly slice through enemy boats like a tire iron goes through steaming pile of shit. One long burst of 14.5 mm KPV will leave your enemy in tears wishing they were never born. Forget the main gun - it only exists for showing off and drawing fire, so just let it be and resort to KPV turrets only, because this is all you will ever need on your way to Valhalla.

Cons: Pissed off grunts will throw their paper planes at you. Pay attention to the skies, as it's too easy get caught in a moment perforating enemy boats for extra air ventilation.

History

Ivan was tired of losing arcade battles with slow moving, slow firing armored boats, so one day he woke up and invented KPV turrets with AP rounds. Everybody laughed at him, boasting their high caliber tank cannons, but Ivan knew better. One beautiful morning he went into the sea and sunk 12 enemy boats in 10 minutes. This record is still standing, with various german 40-mm copycats trying to get close but none of them succeeded.

Media

For best results, 14.5mm man-eating fest should be accompanied by this classic hit:
