'''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. | '''Pros:''' This inadequately effective bad boy will effortlessly slice through enemy boats like a tire iron goes through steaming pile of shit.

Description
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:
