General information
The R-301 was a German minesweeper and the lead ship in a series of twelve R-boat-type "escort" minesweepers. One of the main differences from earlier R-boats was the three-shaft power plant; most of the others had two shafts. Another notable difference was the installation of two 533-mm torpedo tubes. Thanks to these additions, the ships could not only lay mines but also protect convoys from large enemy ships. The R-301 was built in June 1943 but was sunk by Allied aircraft in October 1944.
The R-301 was introduced in Update 1.77 "Advancing Storm". The ship has powerful armaments and good maneuverability but low speed and survivability, exacerbated by its wooden hull.
