General information

The PG 02 (N°822) is a variant on the Italian Sparviero hydrofoil missile boat for the JMSDF. The PG 02 is the 2nd in class out of 3 vessels. The JMSDF came to an agreement with Italy to license build up to 12 Nibbio Class, but opted for alternative Japanese armament instead; They switched out the OTO Melara gun for a JM61 (20 mm) Vulcan cannon and switching out the OTOMATs for Type 90 Ship-To-Ship Missiles. While construction of the 3rd boat was delayed in favour for Gulf War contributions, with further hydrofoil construction rejected and abandoned.

The PG 02 was introduced as a premium pack in Update 1.89 "Imperial Navy". It was removed from sale after the 2020 New Year sale and was reintroduced in 2021 as a premium vehicle purchasable in-game with Golden Eagles in Update "Ixwa Strike". It is a fast, powerful and very agile fighting ship that could be compared to a piranha; it's very fast and agile, with speeds up to 129 km/h in Arcade and 96 km/h in Realistic battles. Equipped with a very deadly 6-barreled 20 mm JM61 rotary cannon with 3,000 rounds of ammunition mounted on the deck, and a Mark 36 SRBOC decoy system with 12 smoke rounds.
