Description
The Ya-5M is a premium gift rank I Soviet motor gun boat with a battle rating of 1.3 (AB/RB/SB). It was introduced during Update 1.83 "Masters of the Sea" as a reward during War Thunder's 6th anniversary, War Thunder's 7th anniversary, and War Thunder's 10th Anniversary.
General info
Survivability and armour
The Ya-5M has no armour protection. Its hull is made out of 4 mm steel and its superstructure is made out of 15 mm thick wood. The crew consists of 10 people, therefore it is very vulnerable. The ship is quite prone to ammo rack detonation because its rocket launcher sits on the deck and the second ammo rack is pretty big and located above the waterline. The ship's third ammo rack is located below waterline and is therefore protected by water. The engine compartment is big and takes shots easily. The engine is located between the fuel tanks in the middle of the ship.
Mobility
The Ya-5M is quite slow to accelerate. It reaches 44 km/h forwards and -18 km/h backwards (33 km/h and -13 km/h in RB). The Ya-5M does not have a very good speed, but it performs well in a turn.

Armament
Primary armament
The primary armament of the Ya-5M consists of two 12.7 mm DSHK machine guns (the first turret mounted above the wheelhouse and the second in an aft pintle). These guns are known for their fast fire rate and decent armour penetration at their rank, on the Ya-5M however, one must turn the ship slightly broadside to enable the usage of both guns at once, this can present a problem while aiming the rockets.
APIT belts are suggested as they contain both HE and AP mixed to maximize damage output against all possible targets.

Special armament
The Ya-5M comes armed with 24 M-8 rockets and one full reload. These rockets are decent area-denial light artillery weapons, but suffer from terrible accuracy beyond 100 m due to conditions at sea. It is recommended to fire these rockets in 4-5 burst salvoes to offset the lack of precision.
Usage in battles
The Ya-5M is a lightly-armoured patrol boat useful for close combat. Its 2 x 12.7 mm DShK machine guns are the primary anti-air and naval engagement weapon. The rockets can decimate enemy patrol boats, but their inaccuracy is a downside, especially in choppy waters. The rockets are very ineffective against enemy destroyers, as their armour prevents any real damage. You may only damage exposed compartments, auxiliary weaponry and lightly-armoured gun turrets.
Pros and cons
Pros:
- Good armaments
- Decent stability and low roll
Cons:
- Quite slow
- Low accuracy and damage from rockets
- Small crew
- Exposed gun positions
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).
