Blog post about Bronekaters in Cruel Seas

For those reading German it might help to know that Kriegsmarine named them Panzerkutter in reports.

Like in those about the fights in Azov sea November 1943.

German S-Boote encountered them there and in Black sea and in Northern coastal Waters.

In fights with ships they did not have much success. The gun optics are good enough for river warfare against slow or static targets but not for ships. Turret turning was also too slow. And inside it was cramped.

The armor of the hull was not able to stop HMG rounds. Not even German LMG SMK rounds. Not one sank a German S or R Boot.
The Katyusha rocket versions never used it against ships on sea. (Similar to the US ELCO rocket launchers that got used just two times in Med. and missed.)

I entirely agree with you on your point that getting the stats right is important and I said so in a recent post on submarines.

Fair points on the difficulty of hitting naval targets with a tank turret gun. But the T-34 turrets still retain their armor, so perhaps ignore gun hits against them from MGs and small cannon?

Edit: My bad. I see that the rules already exempt the turrets from small caliber hits (in the narrative history about Soviet boats)
