Description

GarageImage OD-200.jpg


The OD-200 is a rank I Soviet motor gun boat with a battle rating of 1.7 (AB/RB/SB). It was introduced during Update 1.79 "Project X" when the Soviet fleet was implemented into the game.

General info

Survivability and armour

OD-200 has the following structural layout:

  • Hull: 40 mm, wood
  • Superstructure: 15 mm, wood

The OD-200 lacks any armour protection other than two 10 mm plates protecting the AA gunners. All critical components are situated in the rear half of the ship. Both fuel tanks and one of the ammo storages are clustered at the very back, with the other ammo storage and both engines located below the secondary armaments. This leaves the front hull empty and as such, hits to it will be rather inconsequential. The crew of 21, grouped mostly in and under the bridge, is in line with the average crew size of similar MGBs; however, it's much more vulnerable in comparison due to the complete absence of armour.

Mobility

Mobility Characteristics
Game Mode Upgrade Status Maximum Speed (km/h) Turn Time (s) Turn Radius (m)
Forward Reverse
AB Stock 51 16
Upgraded 70 21
RB/SB Stock 44 14
Upgraded 52 16

Although not terribly slow, the OD-200's speed is nothing to brag about, reaching a maximum of only 52 km/h after upgrades are purchased. The OD-200 has a displacement of 47.5 tons.

Armament

Primary armament

Main article: 37 mm/67 70-K (37 mm)

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

Main article: DShK (12.7 mm)

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.

Special armament

Main article: BB-1 depth charge

Once the Depth Charges modification is purchased, the ship can be equipped with 12 x 165 kg BB-1 depth charges, which is plenty considering it only takes a few to completely destroy a destroyer. They can get you out of a tough situation if you find yourself in close proximity to an enemy ship.

Usage in battles

Describe the technique of using this ship, the characteristics of her use in a team and tips on strategy. Abstain from writing an entire guide – don't try to provide a single point of view, but give the reader food for thought. Talk about the most dangerous opponents for this vehicle and provide recommendations on fighting them. If necessary, note the specifics of playing with this vehicle in various modes (AB, RB, SB).

Pros and cons

Pros:

  • Strong primary cannon with a high rate of fire and very slow to overheat
  • Primary cannon can take down aircraft with a single hit
  • Two secondary machine gun turrets, each protected with 10 mm armour

Cons:

  • Not very fast
  • Primary cannon cannot fire forwards except at high elevations
  • Wooden hull can catch on fire easily

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 long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the ship and adding a block "/History" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Ship-name)/History) and add a link to it here using the main template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <ref></ref>, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <references />. This section may also include the ship's dev blog entry (if applicable) and the in-game encyclopedia description (under === In-game description ===, also if applicable).

Media

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