General info

Survivability and armour

Armourfront / side / back

Hull4 mm (steel)

Superstructure4 mm (steel)

Number of section3

Displacement16 t

Crew6 people

As with the regular G-5, the TKA-106 has practically no survivability. The ship has a tiny crew count of just six crew members and no armour, meaning that a couple of machine gun hits can knock the vessel out. The ships vital components are all clustered close together, making them vulnerable to damage.

Mobility

Speedforward / back

AB137 / 59 km/h

RB102 / 44 km/h

The TKA-106 is an extremely mobile vessel. It can reach a top speed of 107 km/h in realistic mode and 138 km/h in arcade, making it one of the fastest vessels in the game, even faster than its predecessor. The TKA-106 also benefits from a fast acceleration to its top speed. The ships turn time is quite fast, though keep in mind that sustained turns will result in much of the ship's speed being bled away.

Armament

Primary armament

2 х Turret12.7 mm DShK machine gun

Ammunition2000 rounds

Belt capacity50 rounds

Fire rate600 shots/min

Vertical guidance-10° / 70°

The TKA-106 carries a pair of DShK machine guns as its main armament . The 12.7 mm DShK machine gun is a heavy machine gun, similar to the M2 Browning used by the Americans and the Vickers guns used by the British. This gun fires from a fixed 50-round magazine and will need to be reloaded after the magazine is expended. The DShK isn't a particularly high-damaging weapon and drops off in effectiveness past 1.5 km. However, it is still quite effective when use against small coastal vessels. The TKA-106 gets access to three ammunition belts: Universal, HE, and AP. Of these belts, the HE belt is most effective against smaller vessels and aircraft.

Additional armament

Setup 148 x 82 mm M-8 rocket

The TKA-106 gets access to 48 M-8 rockets, with 24 mounted in a trainable launcher and 24 more in a quick-reload magazine. The M-8 rocket is quite adequate for damaging larger targets and are quite easy to aim. However, these rockets are less lethal than some comparable munitions, due to their lower calibre and small TNT warhead (0.6 kg). As a result, it is advisable to salvo-fire the M-8s against large targets in order to ensure their destruction quickly and easily.

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 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:

• Extremely fast (faster than even the previous G-5 versions)
• 2 gunners instead of 1
• Superior locations for the weapons (no frontal blind spot)
• 12.7 mm is enough to damage and destroy other boats and planes at the battle rating
• Rocket-rack can unleash a deadly barrage, and has reserve to fully reload once

Cons:

• No torpedoes
• Rockets are inaccurate and prove difficult to aim on water
• Few crew members
• Exposed ammunition boxes increase chance of being ammo-racked

History

The G-5 torpedo boats became the most common small vessel of this kind in the Soviet fleet during WWII. At the end of 1942, an experimental series of artillery boats was built, in which torpedo equipment was replaced with rocket launchers. During the tests, the project was recognized as successful and all 6 experimental boats were included in the second brigade of torpedo boats in the Black Sea Fleet.
