−
The Type T-14 has no armour, just a wooden hull which is 40 mm thick along with a 15 mm thick wooden superstructure. With 7 crew members, the boat cannot take many hits despite its small profile and survive. The crew compartment is located on frontal half of the boat while the ammunition supply, engine and fuel compartment sits on the rear half of the boat where the area is slightly above the water level. This ship has 4 compartments, making it slightly more survivable than certain other reserve MTBs, it's espeically survivable against small calibre rounds at longer ranges, though this survivability is still nothing to rely on.

The Type T-14 has a top speed of 61 km/h (38 mph) which can be reached within 10 seconds. The boat also can go from 0 km/h to its top speed in reverse (20 km/h or 12.5 mph) in 7 seconds when in full back throttle. It takes approximately 12 seconds to halt the boat from its maximum forward speed. Its top speed doesn't quite stack up when compared to the other low tier MTBs, as it's one of the slowest in game. However its ability to turn and its general agility is great, and can comfortably dodge torpedoes or hazardous terrain.

The Type T-14 is equipped with a single 13.2 mm [[Type 93]] machine gun, which is underwhelming to say the least. It has a 30 round magazine with a fairly long reload relative to the size of the gun, it doesn't do the most damage either and this combined with the reload means your overall damage output is comparatively poor. It gets access to three belts;

Overall, the HEIT belt consistently deals the most damage, it will still take a while to dispatch most enemy vessels but this belt is easily the most efficient. the HE content in the rounds can set off torpedoes and do moderate structural damage to unarmored vessels. It also has a full, 360 degree traverse which is very useful for fighting at close range, meaning you can be more adaptable when picking targets.

−
The Type T-14 is armed with two Type 2 torpedoes, they will easily destroy any large vessel at the lower ranks, but as the maximum range is only 3 kilometers you'll need to get a bit closer to the target or choke point than you would with other torpedoes.
 
  
−
The boat can carry six Type 95 depth charges, which can be dropped to maim other naval targets, they have rather limited viability though as most MTBs will be able to outrun the explosion, however they are useful for sneaking up on the larger ships, as if you can reach them unnoticed one or two of these depth charges will sink the vessel.

−
The T-14 is limited in its playstyle mainly by its main gun, it doesn't work well at range or deal a lot of damage, so at mid to close range is where it's going to have the most substantial impact. It's a good idea to play around your teammates, as in a one on one fight, an enemy will likely cause more damage to you than you will to them, so you'll need the support of friendlies to inflict a portion of the damage.

''Depth charges, mines, rocket launchers and missiles are also effective in skilled hands and can take an off-guard opponent by surprise. Evaluate the ammunition of this type of armament and rate its performance in combat.''
  
−
The T-14 is very reactive to your input, it accelerates well and comes to a stop fairly quickly, which makes fighting around the terrain a lot easier, you can use this cover to your advantage well by how easily you can traverse around it, popping in and out of sight to catch enemies unaware. You'll need to start firing on an enemy first to dispatch them before taking too much damage yourself, so playing cautiously and waiting around islands for vessels to come into sight is a good option.

−
If you see a larger vessel, it's best not to engage it on your own, you wont be able to do enough damage to take it out if it's firing back at you, use your torpedoes to try and knock them out, and only engage with your main gun if you have the support of your friendlies.

Design "Type T-14", officially the No.538 class Motor Torpedo Boat (第五百三十八号型魚雷艇), was the final production model of the Type Otsu Motor Torpedo Boat (乙型魚雷艇), and also the most produced Japanese MTB.
 
−
 
 
−
Before WW2, the Imperial Japanese Navy did not have any interest in small crafts, and such crafts were mainly built by the Army. However, during the Pacific War, the US navy began commerce raiding with PT boats. To counter them, IJN began to develop the Type Otsu MTB, based on a design taken from the Army's MGB Ka-Ro, and using a wide variety of spare aircraft engines.
 
−
 
 
−
But, old engines could not provide enough power, and using various types of engine caused problems with maintenance. To solve these issues, IJN developed the new "Kanhon-Type Mark 71 Model 6" (艦本式71号6型) engine. This engine was a copy of the Isotta-Fraschini W18 water-cooled engine mounted on MAS-451's imported from Italy.
 
−
 
 
−
At first, Type T-35 (No.468 class MTB) was equipped with two of these engines, but production of this engine was very difficult and production rate per month was only 3-4 (Later on, the rate was improved to around 20 per month). Because of this, they began to develop a Type Otsu MTB with a single engine. The Type T-25 (No.469 class) was created, designed to equip one Mk.71 Mod.6, however hull size was the same as former models so it couldn't get enough speed, and the hull was reworked to be smaller, forming the Type T-14 and T-15 (No.491 class MTB). The Type T-14 was chosen for mass-production, and eventually 83 were produced.

Description

GarageImage Type T-14.jpg


The Type T-14 is a rank I Japanese motor torpedo boat with a battle rating of 1.0 (AB/RB/SB). Announced back in Update 1.63 "Desert Hunters", the Type T-14 was introduced into the game in Update 1.89 "Imperial Navy".

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. Save tips for preserving survivability in the "Use in battle" section.

If necessary, use a graphics 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 article: Type 93 (13.2 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.

Torpedo armament

Main article: Type 2 torpedo

Torpedoes launchers are standard equipment on many ships and boats. Torpedoes are a significant 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.

If there is no torpedo armament, remove this section.

Special armament

Main article: Type 95 depth charge

Depth charges, mines, rocket launchers and missiles are also effective in skilled hands and can take an off-guard opponent by surprise. Evaluate the ammunition of this type of armament and rate its performance in combat.

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).

Modules

Tier Seakeeping Unsinkability Firepower

IV Engine Maintenance New Pumps Artillery Support

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 - use substitutions with softer forms such as "inadequate" and "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 long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the 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

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