General info
Survivability and armour

Mobility
Write about the ship’s mobility. Evaluate its power and maneuverability, rudder rerouting speed, stopping speed at full tilt, with its maximum forward speed and reverse speed.
Armament
Primary armament
MTB-1 has decent armament for an MTB. There are two turrets, one at the front and one at the stern, both turrets have 4x 7.72mm 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, the Lewis machine guns are also slow to reload.
Secondary armament
Some ships are fitted with weapons of various calibers. Evaluate the secondary armament 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 anti-air armament, even heavy caliber 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 raid defense. 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 is no anti-aircraft artillery, remove this section.
Torpedo armament
MBT-1 has 2x 18 inch mk XII Torpedoes etc.
Special armament
MBT-1 can be equipped with 4x Mk VII Depth chargers
Usage in the battles
As with any MTB it is best to keep moving due to 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. 1km is a perfect firing range for this boat you can hit most targets reliable. Due to the high firing rate you can destroy ships such as mine sweepers and sub chasers.
Pros and cons

History
Talk about the history of the creation and military application of the ship in greater detail than in the introduction. If there turns out to be too much historical information, put it in a separate article, taking the link to the vehicle article and adding the “/historical” block to it (e.g. https://wiki.warthunder.ru/Vehicle-name/historical) and add a link to it here using the main template. Links to sources must be provided at the end of the article.
