Description

The MTB-1 1 series is a reserve Rank I British 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 British fleet closed beta test.
General info
Survivability and armour
The MTB-1 has no armour at all, so the motor torpedo boat (MTB) can't take too may hits. MTB-1 has 11 crew members, which is quite numerous compared to the German and Soviet MTB's. In terms of survivability, it is best to keep moving due to the absence of armour on the boat.
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 MTB-1 has decent armament for a MTB. There are two turrets, one at the front and one at the stern, both turrets have four 7.72 mm Lewis machine guns. Due to the high firing rate, you can destroy any MBT and most larger ships like the Soviet OD-200 and the German R-boat. It is quite easy to run out of ammo, and the Lewis machine guns are also slow to reload.
Torpedo armament
The MBT-1 has two 18 inch Mk.XII Torpedoes
Special armament
The MBT-1 can be equipped with four Mk.VII depth charges
Usage in battles
As with any MTB, it is best to keep moving due to the boat having no armour. A few hits from an enemy MTB or ship will easily destroy you. When facing ships such as the Soviet OD-200, it's best not to get to close since they have a powerful cannon. Despite having eight Lewis machine guns, destroying enemy vessels can be difficult due to the lower calibre compared to other MTBs like the Browning .50 Cal or the DShK 12.7mm guns. This results in a shorter range and less damage output especially at longer ranges which is further exacerbated by long reload times.
As such, the MTB-1 is fares best in a support role, backing up bigger, allied ships. It can rely on them to distract the enemy whilst the MTB-1 can move in a little closer to deploy its torpedoes whilst compensating the Lewis machine gun's lower calibre and range (preferably within 1 kilometre) with its high rate of fire with both of the turrets placed in the stern and aft of the ship allowing to engage both turrets reliably. Because of its turret placement the MTB-1 can also be used as a close anti-air support as the lower calibre is still rather effective on planes, especially with its HEI rounds.
Pros and cons
Pros:
- Two turrets of quad-mounted Lewis guns
- Armament has a high rate of fire
- Fast and with good mobility
Cons:
- No armour, can be easily destroyed
- Small calibre armament means lots of ammo may have to be expended to eliminate an enemy
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.
Media
Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.
