Description

GarageImage Fairmile A (ML100).jpg


The Fairmile A (ML100) is a rank I British motor gun boat with a battle rating of 1.0 (AB/RB/SB). It was introduced in Update 1.83 "Masters of the Sea" along with the British fleet.

General info

Survivability and armour

The Fairmile A has little to no armor, therefore a few good shots to the engine and ammo rack will make quick work of the Fairmile A. The Fairmile A has a crew of 14, which is low compared to the Soviet OD-200 and the German R-boat R41. In terms of survivability, it is best to stay at a distance of about 1.40km from the enemy, so you'r just out of reach. But you don't want be to far otherwise you wont be able to hit the target with the 3pdr section.

Mobility

The Fairmile A has a top speed of around 37kph. It is fairly slow at turning. Since the fairmile A has a low top speed, it is hard to catch up to the more agile MTB's. But you should be able to catch up to similar ships such as the Soviet OD-200.

Armament

Primary armament

Main article: 3 pdr QF Hotchkiss(47 mm)

The primary Gun is a 3 pdr QF Hotchkiss cannon. It is very slow at reloading and has a slow firing rate. It cannot fire towards the front of the ship, only from the sides or rear of the ship due to its positioning. However, the 3 pdr is capable of taking out motor torpedo boats and other ships. The 3pdr has a HE(high explosive) shell. A single shot will destroy an MBT at close range if you aim for the engine or ammo rack.

Secondary armament

Main article: Lewis (7.7 mm)

In addition to the 3 pdr QF Hotchkiss cannon, the Fairmile A (ML100) has three turrets with dual-mount 7.72mm Lewis machine guns. They are capable to destroy lightly armored motor torpedo boats and enemy planes.

Special armament

12 x Mk.VII depth charge

Usage in the battles

The best way to use this ship is to take out other slow moving ships with the 3 pdr gun. The main gun fires very slowly and is slow to reload, so its best to switch to the Lewis guns scattered around the ship to take out any approaching boats. Watch out for other motor torpedo boats that are approaching, as this boat is a bit slow so they will hit you with torpedoes if you don't shoot first.

Pros and cons

Summarize and briefly evaluate the vehicle in terms of its characteristics and combat effectiveness. Mark its pros and cons in the bulleted list. Do not use more than 6 points for each of the characteristics. Avoid using categorical definitions such as "bad", "good" and the like - they have a substitution in the form of softer "inadequate", "effective".

Pros:

  • Good 3pdr gun
  • Three turrets of dual-mounted Lewis guns
  • Access to 12 depth chargers

Cons:

  • 3 pdr gun is slow to fire and reload
  • Boat is a bit slow.

History

The Fairmile A motor launch was a type of motor launch designed by Fairmile Marine for the Royal Navy.

Media

An excellent addition to the article will be video guides, as well as screenshots from the game and photos.https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Motor_Launch_104.jpg
