The MPK-163 is an improved version of MPK pr.122A, designed in 1945. It features better armour, a larger crew (enhancing survivability), increased speed, and more armaments compared to its predecessor. The MPK-163 served in the Black Sea Fleet from 1956 to 1970, after which it was decommissioned from the Navy and later scrapped.
This vessel was introduced during Update 1.79 "Project X" when the Soviet fleet was implemented into the game. The MPK-163 boasts better survivability and speed compared to its predecessor. It can effectively destroy enemy armoured boats thanks to its 85 mm 90-K cannon and protect itself against enemy aircraft with its 37 mm 70-K autocannon and three twin 12.7 mm DShK heavy machine guns. Although there are no submarines in normal matches, you can still utilize its depth charge and mortar to destroy enemy boats if you use them properly.
