Do not expect anything too special from the T1 Type Motor Torpedo Boat. However, she does make for a decent beginning level boat for the Imperial Japanese Navy and is capable of undertaking any assignments at her tier. A pair of turrets with 7.7mm machine guns work well against lightweight enemy boats and aircraft. For larger targets, she has two 457mm torpedoes capable of delivering 110 kg of explosives to a distance of up to four kilometres. Anyone tailing the T1 will quickly make the acquaintance of her Type 95 depth charges. Although it won’t be easy, the boat is equipped with three petrol engines (two primary and one cruising engine) with a total of 1,860 horsepower, and can reach speeds of over 38 knots, making her a difficult target.
