Description
.jpg)
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 53-38 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
The G-5 ShVAK is a fast and manoeuvrable ship, with speeds upto 122 KM/H in Arcade and 94 KM/H in Realistic & Simulator Battles. A G-5 ShVAK also offers excellent manoeuvrability, at high speeds compared to it competitors such as the PT, LS and others. Additionally the G-5 ShVAK is armed with a 20mm cannon, not all rivals have cannons or machine guns.
When playing the G-5 ShVAK in arcade battles, it is important to be aware of your team mates - since most vessels travel at high speed it is not impossible for your team mates to accidentally collide into you. When this happens, the G-5 is a small and lightweight vessel, it is possible when they collide in the heat of battle, that they can flip you over and you drown.
In battle the G-5 ShVAK can be compared to a piranha, it's small size, resilience and being very fast makes it unstoppable in the hands of a skilled player. When engaging enemy ships, turn the G-5 into them, keeping G-5 profile, very small and hard to hit. Using the great high speed manoeuvrability offered, bring the ship along side and blast them with the ShVAK 20mm cannon.
It is important to make every shot count, do not aim for open spaces, aim for areas such the bridge and engine room where the rounds from the G-5 will be able to cause alot of damage to critical parts and knocking out sailors on the enemy vessel.
Using the G-5 torpedoes, are more suited to bigger, slower and less manoeuvrable ships such as teh following the class of ships: BMO, 165 ft PC-451,SF40 Leichte, Isles class, Type K-3/No.1 Class and others types which are similar to these. However, it is not impossible to use the torpedoes on smaller & manoeuvrable targets, one of the ways is to out manoeuvre the opponent, and turn into them and launch it allowing the rival to sail into it.
Pros and cons
Pros:
- Great top speed
- Great manoeuvrability
- 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:
- No armour
- Low ammunition capacity for the ShVAK; can run out of ammo quickly if not properly handled.
- Inadequate gun elevation and transverse
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.
