Description
The Krischan der Große is a rank IV German motor gun boat with a battle rating of 2.7 (AB/RB/SB). It was introduced in Update "Winged Lions" as the Flusi 1 and was renamed Krischan der Große in Update "Wind of Change".
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 armaments separately. Don't forget to mention the size of the crew, which plays an important role in fleet mechanics. Save tips on preserving survivability for the "Usage in battles" section. If necessary, use a graphical 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 and reverse speed.

Armament
Primary armament
Provide information about the characteristics of the primary armament. Evaluate their efficacy in battle based on their reload speed, ballistics and the capacity of their shells. Add a link to the main article about the weapon: {{main|Weapon name (calibre)}}. Broadly describe the ammunition available for the primary armament, and provide recommendations on how to use it and which ammunition to choose.
Secondary armament
Some ships are fitted with weapons of various calibres. Secondary armaments are defined as weapons chosen with the control Select secondary weapon. Evaluate the secondary armaments and give advice on how to use them. Describe the ammunition available for the secondary armament. Provide recommendations on how to use them and which ammunition to choose. Remember that any anti-air armament, even heavy calibre weapons, belong in the next section. If there is no secondary armament, remove this section.
Anti-aircraft armament
An important part of the ship's armament responsible for air defence. Anti-aircraft armament is defined by the weapon chosen with the control Select anti-aircraft weapons. Talk about the ship's anti-air cannons and machine guns, the number of guns and their positions, their effective range, and about their overall effectiveness – including against surface targets. If there are no anti-aircraft armaments, remove this section.
Usage in battles
The Krischan der Große is a slow boat. The 88 mm HE round can knock out small motorboats with a single shot and the dual 20 mm quad mounts provide plenty of firepower to the rear and broadsides. As it is a wooden boat, taking fire from anything bigger than .50 cal MGs will make short work of the crew, therefore captains must be cautious. Closing with the enemy is never a good idea. Instead, use the cover of islands and take advantage of friendlies drawing fire. This can allow you to get some quick kills with the 88 mm gun. One of the worst enemies for the Krischan are the light AA barges. They can rain fire down from 2 km with their 20 mm cannons arcing fire over islands and other obstacles, absolutely shredding your crew. The boat handles fine in still water but targeting guns in heavy swells can be a challenge as the boat severely rocks in even moderate seas.
Pros and cons
Pros:
- 20mm AA can ward off aircraft
- 37mm with rapid fire can destroy any plane and small boat quickly
- 88m is hard hitting with timed fuze shells
- Large crew size
Cons:
- Weak armor often results in quick deaths to heavy MGs and autocannons
- 20mms have a blind spot on the low front. Aircraft diving low can bomb the ship if the 37mm doesn't shoot it down
- Armament placement means switching between armaments when flanked from the rear
History
Devblog
As part of the ongoing planning efforts for Operation Sea Lion - the German invasion of Great Britain - the Reich Air Ministry ordered the construction of a prototype anti-aircraft boat in 1940. Envisioned as a compact and simple vessel, the design was to provide cover for landing troops during the invasion as well as protect the coastal areas of the Netherlands and France from low flying aircraft. Hastily developed, the vessel was laid down in Autumn 1940 in Rotterdam, receiving the name "Flusi 1" and subsequently entering service in November 1942.
Soon after commissioning however, the drawbacks of its poorly thought out design became apparent. Namely, the vessel's anti-air weapons weren't fit for use in rough waters due to a lack of stabilization and its aircraft petrol engines were unable to moor at low speeds. As a result, the design was generally disliked and no mass-production order was issued, despite original plans for constructing around 100 units.
Despite continuing service throughout the war, Flusi 1 never took part in any active combat operations. The vessel was later on sunk during an Allied air raid west of Amsterdam in February 1944, ending its brief service career.

Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.
