Description

The R-301-class, R-301 is a rank II German minesweeper with a battle rating of 2.3 (AB/RB/SB). It was introduced in Update 1.79 "Project X" as part of the fleet closed beta test.

General info

Survivability and armour

The R-301 is constructed using wood, the superstructure is hardened wood constructed to a thickness of 12mm. The wooden construction of the R-301 means fire is one of the biggest threats to survival of the ship. There is no armour on the ship, apart from the gun shields and hardened superstructure. The R-301 has a crew placement of 42, increased by 1 compared to the R-boot R-130. The R-301, still provides a great attachment of sailors, which helps to increases the overall survivability of the R-301 dramatically compared to other ships in this tier.

Compared to the previous version R-boot R-130 which only offered two single 2 cm/65 C/30 (20mm) automatic cannons and a single 3,7 cm FlaK-Lafette C/36 (37mm) automatic cannon. This is now significantly increased even more with two twin 2 cm/65 C/38 (20mm) automatic cannons, replacing the two single 2 cm/65 C/30 (20mm) automatic cannons with twice as much stopping power and 200 round magazines for them. Additionally the legendary single 3,7 cm FlaK-Lafette C/36 (37mm) automatic cannon stays the same the depth charge racks are replaced with two torpedo tubes are added.

However, the internal components of the R-301 are spaced out, meaning a good volley of enemy fire will not completely incapacitate the ship.

The engine is placed, under the conning tower of the ship, with the transmission extending towards the stern (Rear) to the Voith Schneider propulsion system.
The transmission & propeller systems are under the waterline which protects it from most enemy rounds, which would penetrate the ship.
The engines system can be destroyed by enemy fire since it extends above the waterline.
The ships fuel and ammunition storage can be penetrated by enemy fire, since these are located above the waterline.

Mobility

The R-301 may seem slow, In comparison to the other naval ships at this tier, due to it's length. The Voith Schneider propulsion system, as found on the R-41 & R-130 has been replaced with a conventional three bladed propeller and transmission system. The engines have been increased from two to three.

The top speed has been increased by the change of propulsion system:

In arcade it has a maximum speed of 57 KM/H.
In realistic & simulator is 43 KM/H.

However, the change from the Voith Schneider to the conventional blades has had a significant change on the manoeuvrability of this ship. It is incapable off performing the once fine manoeuvrable dance acts of the previous Voith Schneider propulsion system, which powered the R-boot R-41 & R-boot R-130.

Armament

Primary armament

Main articles: 2 cm/65 C/38 (20 mm), 2 cm/65 Flakzwilling 38 (20 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.

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: 3,7 cm SK C/30 (37 mm)

Some ships are fitted with weapons of various calibres. Secondary armament is defined by the weapon chosen with the control Select secondary weapon. 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 calibre weapons, belong in the next section.

Torpedo armament

Main article: G7a (533 mm)

Many ships are armed with torpedo launchers, and for some vessels such as boats, torpedoes are an extremely important means of defeating an opponent. Evaluate the position of the torpedo launchers, discuss the ammunition available, firing specifics such as dead zones, features of the torpedoes themselves, etc.

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 get 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

Summarize and briefly evaluate the vehicle in terms of its characteristics and combat effectiveness. Mark its pros and cons in the bulleted list. Try not to 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".

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

An excellent addition to the article will be video guides, as well as screenshots from the game and photos.
