Evaluate the composition of components and assemblies responsible for movement and manoeuvrability. Evaluate the survivability of the primary and secondary armament separately.

The S-38b is ''nearly'' identical to the [[S-38]] in terms of survivability. The S-38b has the same hull construction and composition, yet the bridge is constructed of 10 mm thick anti-fragmentation armour. This means the bridge is more resilient to damage on the S-38b than S-38.

The main difference between the S-38 and the S-38b is the presence of MG 34 machineguns. These machineguns are more suited towards firing upon aircraft instead of ships; citing their meagre calibre. The machineguns are mounted behind the bridge and are initially aimed upwards. The location of these machineguns allows them to fire on either side of the ship, and fire upon aircraft.

Description

GarageImage S-38b.jpg


The S-38b is a rank II German motor torpedo boat with a battle rating of 1.7 (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 S-38b is nearly identical to the S-38 in terms of survivability. The S-38b has the same hull construction and composition, yet the bridge is constructed of 10 mm thick anti-fragmentation armour. This means the bridge is more resilient to damage on the S-38b than S-38.

Mobility

The S-38b is also nearly identical to the S-38 in terms of mobility. It too is quick and agile. The difference is that the S-38b is slightly quicker forwards at 106 KPH (66 MPH).

Armament

Primary armament

The main weapons are identical to the S-38, any gunnery lessons and practices learned from the S-38 are immediately applicable to the S-38b.

Secondary armament

Main article: MG 34 (7.92 mm)

The main difference between the S-38 and the S-38b is the presence of MG 34 machineguns. These machineguns are more suited towards firing upon aircraft instead of ships; citing their meagre calibre. The machineguns are mounted behind the bridge and are initially aimed upwards. The location of these machineguns allows them to fire on either side of the ship, and fire upon aircraft.

Torpedo armament

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.

Special armament

Main article: WBD depth charge

The S-38b has the same special weapons options as the S-38, including smokescreens, and depth charges.

Usage in battles

The S-38b should be used exactly as the S-38 is used. Though the S-38b has better anti-air coverage than the S-38, it should not be depended upon.

Modules

Tier Seakeeping Unsinkability Firepower
I Dry-Docking Tool Set 20 mm HET magazines
II Rudder Replacement Fire Protection System Smokescreen 20 mm APT magazines Auxiliary Armament Targeting
III Propeller Replacement Depth Charges Primary Armament Targeting
IV Engine Maintenance New Pumps Artillery Support

Pros and cons

Pros:

  • Very close to the S-38, one could go from the S-38 to the S-38b with no special learning required
  • Main cannons are the same as the ones found on the S-38
  • Better armour then the armour found on the S-38
  • Quicker, while maintaining the same handling characteristics
  • Same BR as the S-38, meaning one can have the S-38 and S-38b in the same lineup
  • Still inexpensive to operate

Cons:

  • Most flaws from the S-38 are maintained in the S-38b
  • Even with additional MG 34s, anti-air coverage is minimal

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.
