Description

The Fairmile C (312) is a rank III British motor gun boat with a battle rating of 2.3 (AB/RB/SB). It was introduced in Update 1.83 "Masters of the Sea" as part of the British fleet closed beta test.

General info

Survivability and armour

Talk about the vehicle's armour. Note the most well-defended and most vulnerable zones, e.g. the ammo magazine. Evaluate the composition of components and assemblies responsible for movement and manoeuvrability. Evaluate the survivability of the primary and secondary armament separately. Don't forget to mention the size of the crew, which plays an important role in fleet mechanics. Tips for preserving survivability should be saved for the "Use in battle" section.

If necessary, use a graphic template to show the most well-protected or most vulnerable points in the armour.

Mobility

Write about the ship’s mobility. Evaluate its power and manoeuvrability, rudder rerouting speed, stopping speed at full tilt, with its maximum forward speed and reverse speed.

Armament

Primary armament

Main articles: 2pdr QF Mk.IIc (40 mm), 2pdr Rolls Royce (40 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: Vickers Mk.V (12.7 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.

Anti-aircraft armament

Main article: Vickers GO No.5 (7.7 mm)

An important part of the ship’s armament responsible for air raid defense. Anti-aircraft armament is defined by the weapon chosen with the control Select anti-aircraft weapons. 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.

Special armament

Main article: Mk.VII depth charge

Depth charges, mines, rocket launchers and missiles are also effective in skilled hands and can be an unexpected surprise for an opponent. Evaluate the ammunition of this type of armament and rate its performance in combat.

Usage in battles

In AB this is one of the least able BR2.7 boats. While the secondary and anti-air armanments provide good air coverage this boat in inferior to the FB1102 and Fairmile D

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.

-The primary armament is composed of two 40 mm guns, an aft-mounted 2 pdr Rolls Royce cannon with 1,200 rounds of ammunition and a bow-mounted 2pdr QF Mk.IIc automatic cannon with 1,120 rounds of ammunition. The aft gun has a magazine capacity of 4 rounds and a reload of 2.21 seconds with a stock crew, when used with an ace crew the reload is 1.7 seconds. The bow gun has a belt capacity of 56 rounds and a reload of 7.8 seconds with a stock crew, an ace crew can reload the gun in 6 seconds.

-* '''Universal:''' {{Annotation|HEF|High-explosive fragmentation}}{{-}}{{Annotation|AP-T|Armour-piercing tracer}}{{-}}{{Annotation|HEF|High-explosive fragmentation}}{{-}}{{Annotation|AP-T|Armour-piercing tracer}}

-{{:2pdr QF Mk.IIc (40 mm)/Ammunition|HEF, AP-T}}
-The best ammunition for general use is the 40 mm HE belt, with its higher concentration of HE over the other belts. It is the most effective against lightly armoured boats and aircraft. To deal with armoured targets, a large amount of the 40 mm AP belt should also be carried. Due to the long reload of the bow gun it may be advisable to try to engage targets with the aft gun when reloading or switching belts. Alternatively you may want to use the universal belt which trades damage output for more armour-piercing rounds, with this belt you will not need to reload when engaging armoured targets.
-The bow gun has a total of 600 rounds of ammo in 10 belts of 60 rounds each and the aft gun has a total of 40 rounds of ammunition in 10 magazines of 4 rounds each. Because of this you should currently not rely on the aft gun for engaging targets.

+In AB this is one of the least able BR2.7 boats. While the secondary and anti-air armanments provide good air coverage this boat in inferior to the FB1102 and Fairmile D
-The Fairmile C (312) has a low survivability and an average mobility. The 40 mm guns are not suited for long range engagements, however they are efficient at taking out anything smaller than a destroyer.
-Once the battle starts seek cover halfway between the spawn and the closest strategic point, angled cover that exposes your frontal 40 mm guns but covers the hull is ideal (usually rocks or sand beach). Stay close to that cover since it prevents guns with high muzzle velocity from easily shooting at you, but allows your low muzzle velocity guns to shoot. However, this static gameplay makes you vulnerable to artillery strikes and high altitude bombers, but it should be a rare occurrence. You can contribute to the battle this way by denying an area to enemy movement. If you need to move, try to do it as part of a group, since any motorboat can easily take you out in a short amount of time, all while being very hard to hit with the 40 mm guns. Using the 12.7 mm MGs works better for those close range situations but forces you to expose your side making you an even bigger target.

 '''Pros:'''
-* Low muzzle velocity of the 2 x 40 mm guns gives it good shell arc, allowing it to engage targets behind cover
+*
-* The turrets with twin 12.7 mm guns are effective versus aircraft and fast-moving boats
 '''Cons:'''
-* Low survivability
+*
-* The 40 mm 2pdr QF Mk.IIc cannon is the only forward-facing gun and has a long reload time
-* Using both 40 mm guns exposes its side, making it vulnerable to total crew knock-out
-* No torpedoes
