Very usefull

I would say Germany based on the fact that their reserve ships actually has cannons, and not .50 cals.

that reserve rowing boat is hot garbage...

USA, their motor gun boats are great and their subchasers are fun also. Germany's reserve boat is garbage and the definition of glass cannon. Even with the larger cannon, if someone shoots you first, you're done.

Less of a pain than the German one from my experience. Once you get the 80ft Nasty, you start rolling in rp from ship damage.

I really like the German R-301. it's a beast. I made 20 kills with it. In under 4 minutes. (check my screenshot section!)

I mean, I haven't tried German one yet. But they have to be better than just .50 cal. You get a nice 15mm cannon with German Reserve.

It's a double edged sword. If anybody has decent accuracy, they are going to inflict more damage to you than you will to it, simply because they can more of a hit. I actively hunt LS-3s for free RP and have told friends to do so too. They're that easy to destroy.

Don't get me wrong though, if you're good at hit and run stuff, then they can be very effective.

that 15mm auto cannon not gona save your life when one 50 cal barrage kill all the 7 people in that tiny bathtub.

The 15mm 'cannon' is maybe better than 1x.50 cal, but probably not better than 2x.

For reserves, I probably would go with the LS-3 as easiest to use because the gun has clear 360 firing arcs. (Also one long belt, though you have to fire bursts or it'll jam.) The US PB-6 (and even more PB-20) gets awkward firing arcs, and the first two soviet boats can't shoot straight forward at all.

However, I think the US and soviet gunboats at BR 1.7 have more interesting capabilities than corresponding German boats, and the 1.7 schnellboot is very vulnerable despite (or because of?) its size.

I don't really know how things go beyond that.

I try to kill every crew already with the .50 cal and it barley can. I think if youre precise enough the cannon shells should do more damage to the crew and overall boat structure, than 2 .50 cal. I don't even know if the .50 cals are over penetrating the boats or not or what is going on, but it's so weird. And I always get destroyed by cannons.

40mm cannons are killer. The 37mm soviet AA gun isn't bad. Even 20mm has its moments. 15mm, not spectacular.

All guns overpenetrate boats unless you hit a heavy component or use explosive shells. Most boats are mostly if not entirely unarmored. Small-caliber explosive shells, IME, aren't as good as you might think though.

I was using an I-16 with rockets for a while. I had much better results with the penetrating RBS rockets than the pure HE RS rockets. Boats are so big that an AP round passing through can do more damage than a small explosion that only reaches a little bit into the hull. Even 37mm I prefer the AP shells to the HE shells.

Hmmm interesting. APHE can work wonders.
