Description

The G-5 Type (ShVAK) is a premium rank I Soviet motor torpedo boat
with a battle rating of 1.0 (AB/RB/SB). It was introduced in Update 1.83 "Masters of the Sea" as part of the fleet release into open beta test. This is a nice modification to the reserve one. The 20 mm cannon has good fire rate and good penetration
General info
Survivability and armour
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 armament separately. Don't forget to mention the size of the crew, which plays an important role in fleet mechanics. Tips for preserving survivability should be saved for the "Use in battle" section.
If necessary, use a graphic template to show the most well-protected or most vulnerable points in the armour.
Mobility
Write about the ship’s mobility. Evaluate its power and manoeuvrability, rudder rerouting speed, stopping speed at full tilt, with its maximum forward speed and reverse speed.
Armament
Primary armament
The ShVAK 20mm cannon is a truly menacing tool, it provides great destructive capabilities over to enemy vehicles. Weather it be Air or Naval targets, which are met in battle. The cannon is placed the rear of the conning tower, it proves overall great defensive and offensive capabilities for the ship. However, it is important to note: That the ShVAK is unable to provide any stopping power when enemy ships are in-front of it due to the ship commander is placed in front, along with the ship radio mask which prevents the cannon being unable to be lowered.
- It takes between 5.85 and 4.5 Seconds to reload this in game - 4.5 second time is achieved with a fully qualified & upgraded crew.
The ShVAK 20mm cannon has three choices of ammunition:
- Universal
- HE High Explosive
- AP Armour Piercing
Each ammunition, has a unique belt that defines how the rounds are loaded into the gun.
Torpedo armament
The G-5 ShaVAK has two torpedoes, placed in the rear of the ship. When the these are launched from the ship, they are ejected backwards into the water and then submerse under the ship. These torpedoes, are able to take down any ship in the game with well placed & calculated shots.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 get 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
Pros:
- Great top speed
- Good maneuverability
- 20 mm ShVAK cannon packs a more powerful punch than the DShK machine gun
- As with all PT boats, wields powerful torpedoes
- Torpedoes are stored internally, making it difficult to spot a launch
Cons:
- Thin armour
- Low ammunition capacity for the ShVAK; can run out of ammo quickly if not properly handled.
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 big, take it to a separate article, taking a link to an article about the vehicle and adding a block "/ History" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Vehicle-name)/History) and add a link to it here using the main template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <ref>, as well as adding them at the end of the article.
