The '''MAS 569''' is made entirely from wood, the hull has about 40 mm of wood for the hull and 15 mm for the superstructure.
 +
 
 +
It can withstand blows up to 20 mm, after 20 mm it really starts to struggle in fact it will take a few moments to sink you. On the MAS there are 15 sailors, seem few but if we compare them to the 6 members of the '''G-5''' and 7 of the '''LS''' these 15 are enough and advanced.  
 +
 
 +
The advantage of having a relatively small ship and many members is that it will not take long to repair and extinguish the ship.

 +
Another thing you need to be careful about when using it because if you hit a reef you are gonna lose your members or in the worst scenario the entire ship.

The '''MAS 569''' is propelled to a speed of 80 km/h thanks to 2 engines of 500 horsepower Isotta Fraschini. The peculiarity of the MAS is that its 2 engines are civilian engines, not special engines only for the armed forces, these engines are used by Regia Aeronautica too.

The primary armament is composed of one [[Breda Mod.30 (6.5 mm)|6,5mm Breda Mod.30]] and a [[20 mm/65 Breda (20 mm)|20mm Breda 20/65]], the 20mm causes little damage and has a very low rate of fire  but the 6,5mm have a small caliber but have a high fire rate and can do a quite a punch.

+
The '''MAS 569''' is equipped with two types of additional armament. The first one is the '''W.200''' torpedo, a torpedo that without the modification of the improved torpedoing can navigate up to 81 km/h for 3 Km, while when the modification is sought the torpedo will lose 7 km/h but in compensation it will gain 1000 meters of range. These two torpedoes are excellent for quick attacks on larger ships. With their good speed and 200 kg of explosive, it will be child's play to sink a ship.
 +
 
 +
The second additional armament of the '''MAS 569''' is the depth charge '''B TG''', can be used 6 depth charges and are positioned in the back of the ship. The '''B TG'''s with their 60 kg of explosive each are very effective to destroy ships that get a little too close, you can also flank the big ships and throw them at them.

The '''MAS 569''' is a rather odd ship, the 20mm cannon has a low rate of fire and its small magazine, as well as its inability to fire directly forward, drastically limit its potential but thanks to the 6.5mm the '''MAS 569''' gets a big advantage which is its rate of fire and its smaller magazine however causes serious damage to enemy ships. However, it can still be a significant threat to other ships. The best choice when using the cannon and machine gun is not to drive forward, but to stand to the side. This allows you to use the entire operational area of the weapon.
 +
 
 +
The best way is to stay behind cover and only move backwards when engaging and then return to cover. One-on-one combat against almost any other reserve will not work in your favor, so the element of surprise is very important.

The project for the MAS type "500" was presented in November 1935, because Italy needed motorboats armed with modern torpedoes (for that time) with a guaranteed speed of 44 knots assured by 2 petrol engines Isotta Fraschini "Asso" of 1000 Horses each.
 +
 +
This new class of MAS was studied by Cantieri Baglietto of Varazze and was shown to the Minister of the Navy and then accepted by Prime Minister Benito Mussolini.
 +
 +
The MAS type "500" were small fast wooden boats, unlike the MAS of the First World War they were much faster, and they got different armaments with time and also different modifications.
 +
 +
The MAS type "500" were composed of almost 100 units, these wooden boats then obtained several modifications such as the use of metal instead of wood for the hull of the boat, increase in size and increase of the crew.
 +
 +
The MAS type "500" were produced in series:
 +
 +
'''1st Series''' 
 +
 +
The first units of the MAS "500" had a wooden hull (the MAS 525 had a metal hull) with a hull with two steps and a range of 400 miles at 42 knots and 1000 at 6 knots with auxiliary engines.

 +
 +
There were 24 units of the 2ndSeries from MAS 526 to MAS 550.
 +
 +
The MAS of 2° Series have the greater dimensions, were equipped with a hull in wood with hull to edge to two steps with an autonomy of 360 miles to the maximum speed and of 1100 to 6 knots, the MAS 550 in particular had the hull in metal.
 +
 +
'''''The MAS of 3°Serie are:'''''

 +
 +
2nd Production group from MAS 555 to MAS 564 with wooden hull, range of 395 miles and 913 miles respectively.
 +
 +
The MAS of 3rd Series changed the 13.2mm Breda machine gun with the 20/65 Breda machine gun, this made the gun more effective at medium distances against enemies
 +
 +

 +
 +
There were 12 units of the 4thSeries from MAS 566 to MAS 576 these units were almost identical to those of the 3rdSeries with some minor changes such as the adoption of the helm of maneuver in the bridge, the replacement of the shaft with a support for the Breda 6.5mm machine gun and the increase in the supply of shots for the Breda machine gun 20/65

Description

The Velocissimo Classe 500, MAS 569 is a premium rank I Italian motor torpedo boat with a battle rating of 1.0 (AB/RB/SB). It was introduced in Update "Starfighters".

General info

Survivability and armour

Armourfront / side / back
Hull40 mm (wood)
Superstructure15 mm (wood)

Displacement29 t
Crew13 people

The MAS 569 is made entirely from wood, the hull has about 40 mm of wood for the hull and 15 mm for the superstructure.

It can withstand blows up to 20 mm, after 20 mm it really starts to struggle in fact it will take a few moments to sink you. On the MAS there are 15 sailors, seem few but if we compare them to the 6 members of the G-5 and 7 of the LS these 15 are enough and advanced.

The advantage of having a relatively small ship and many members is that it will not take long to repair and extinguish the ship.

Another thing you need to be careful about when using it because if you hit a reef you are gonna lose your members or in the worst scenario the entire ship.

Mobility

Speedforward / back
AB112 / 45 km/h

Armament

Primary armament

Turret20 mm/65 Breda anti-aircraft gun
Ammunition1500 rounds
Belt capacity12 rounds
Fire rate240 shots/min
Vertical guidance-10° / 90°
Turret6.5 mm Breda Mod.30 machine gun
Ammunition2000 rounds
Belt capacity20 rounds
Fire rate500 shots/min
Main articles: 20 mm/65 Breda (20 mm), Breda Mod.30 (6.5 mm)

The primary armament is composed of one 6,5mm Breda Mod.30 and a 20mm Breda 20/65, the 20mm causes little damage and has a very low rate of fire  but the 6,5mm have a small caliber but have a high fire rate and can do a quite a punch.

Additional armament

Setup 12 x 450 mm steam turbined W.200/450X5,75 torpedo
Setup 26 x B TG depth charge
Setup 32 x 450 mm steam turbined W.200/450X5,75 torpedo
6 x B TG depth charge
Main articles: W.200/450X5,75 (450 mm), B TG depth charge

The MAS 569 is equipped with two types of additional armament. The first one is the W.200 torpedo, a torpedo that without the modification of the improved torpedoing can navigate up to 81 km/h for 3 Km, while when the modification is sought the torpedo will lose 7 km/h but in compensation it will gain 1000 meters of range. These two torpedoes are excellent for quick attacks on larger ships. With their good speed and 200 kg of explosive, it will be child's play to sink a ship.

The second additional armament of the MAS 569 is the depth charge B TG, can be used 6 depth charges and are positioned in the back of the ship. The B TGs with their 60 kg of explosive each are very effective to destroy ships that get a little too close, you can also flank the big ships and throw them at them.

Usage in battles

The MAS 569 is a rather odd ship, the 20mm cannon has a low rate of fire and its small magazine, as well as its inability to fire directly forward, drastically limit its potential but thanks to the 6.5mm the MAS 569 gets a big advantage which is its rate of fire and its smaller magazine however causes serious damage to enemy ships. However, it can still be a significant threat to other ships. The best choice when using the cannon and machine gun is not to drive forward, but to stand to the side. This allows you to use the entire operational area of the weapon.

The best way is to stay behind cover and only move backwards when engaging and then return to cover. One-on-one combat against almost any other reserve will not work in your favor, so the element of surprise is very important.

Pros and cons

Pro:

  • Good speed (80km/h)
  • Good rotation time 
  • Good torpedoes
  • Good acceleration
  • Good machine gun 6.5 mm Breda Mod.30

Cons:

  • No armor
  • 20mm has small magazines and slow rate of fire
  • Terrible survivability in combat (compared to other ships)
  • The 20mm cannon is positioned at the rear
  • Angle of fire of the 20mm cannon
  • No anti-aircraft

History MAS 569

Deployed in the Alto Tirreno FMO until May 1942, MAS 569 was sent with MAS 568 to the Black Sea, arriving in Yalta on 30 July 1942.

During the evening of February 14, 1943, while returning from a mission, it sighted a Soviet submarine surfacing about 10 miles to the east.

Then ceded on August 28th 1943 to the Romanian Navy, and was self-sunken at Costanza or somewhere in the Black Sea in August 1944.

The MAS 569 is part of the final series of the MAS type "500" PT boats. It was part of the Italian Black Sea flotilla and participated in the August 1942 attack on Soviet cruiser Molotov.

The MAS 569 was heavily damaged in a Soviet bombing of Yalta in September 1942.[1]
