Description
The MPK Pr.201K is a gift rank IV Soviet sub-chaser with a battle rating of 3.7 (AB/RB/SB). It was introduced during Update "Winged Lions" as a reward for the 2021 Operation W.I.N.T.E.R. event.
General info
Survivability and armour
The MPK Pr.201K virtually has no armour, only protected by steel on the hull and the superstructure. The only armour it has located on her 2 x 25 mm turret. It can withstand any small arms and some heavy machine gun fire, but it is are vulnerable to autocannon fire. With only 29 crew, it's surprisingly survivable. Be careful with the front hull because all of the ammo is located at the front of the ship's hull. Hide the front hull or you will be destroyed instantly.
Mobility
For a sub-chaser, the MPK Pr.201K is somewhat quick. With 52 km/h forward and 20 km/h in reverse (RB/SB), you can flank and go behind cover to surprise other boats and sometimes some unaware PT boat with the rapid-firing twin 25 mm and 45 mm autocannons.

Armament
Primary armament
The 45 mm/89 SM-21-ZIF is a fast-firing high-velocity cannon naval autocannon. Little prone to overheating, it can shred PT boat and lightly-armoured ship pretty quickly. It only has one type of ammo and doesn't have AP rounds, making it harder to fight heavier targets like armoured gun boats and destroyers. The superstructure blocks your firing arc, making the 45 mm useless if the enemy is directly at your boat's front.

Secondary armament
The 25 mm 2M-3 is a common naval autocannon among Soviet naval ships. It's good against lightly-armoured target and PT boats. It can also be used as AA defense with the 45 mm as well. You also can't shoot the 25 mm if the enemy is directly in front of your boat because the front hull and mortar block the cannon's line of sight.
