Completed some detail investigation for EM Skory Class (#1266), EM Skory Mod Class (#1267), EM Skory Mod [Pr.31 Besshumny](#1881).
This class was constructed as 70 ships, so it is an important to have in right sensor-weapons sets.
There are some corrections in database need. All corrections there as for deltas in comparision for existing database.
Ok, lets start.
1. EM Skory Class (#1266) – the early version before any upgrades.
a) Better change the name of the class to something like “EM Pr.30 bis”.
b) Displacement standard – 2300 instead of 2600, full – 3066 instead of 3260. Crew – 286 instead of 288.
c) Sensors:
B1) Actually navigation radar was “Rym-1” instead of “Don 2” – but I cant see it in database, so it can be OK. May be replace by “Don Key” (Volga) in game?
B2) Remove “2 x Watch Dog A” RWR – some RWR assets was in later modification – Pr.31 (#1881) – will described later.
B3) Change “Top Bow [Zalp-M2]” to “Half Bow [Zalp]” radar.
B4) Change “Stag Ear [Tamir-11/11M]” to “Stag Hoof [Tamir-5N/NS]” sonar.
B5) Actually instead of GUIS-2 was GUIS-1M, but it can be Ok, if impossible to change.
d) Weapons:
C1) Change 7x37mm/63 Twin DP to 4x37mm/63 Twin DP.
Note: There is a mess. Actually, it was 2 variants in serie: the standart (say, var A) with 4x2 37mm gun V-11, and 10 ships with 7x1 37 gun 70K (say, var B). Some of these was soon replaced by V-11 also (in the 1-2 year). May be it will be better to have both variants, with 4 “V-11” and 7 “70K” in the game. If it impossible, I think var A is more preferable. For both variants 8000 rounds total.
C2) Rounds: 130mm – 600; 85mm-600; 37mm-8000.
С3) Adjust depth charge for depth charge racks: it was 20 small depth charges (БМ-1 – (Bomb Small-1)) [25 kg explosive, 41 kg total, 252 mm caliber]
C4) Add 2 depth charge projectors (БМБ-1)with 8 big depth charges (ББ-1 – (Bomb Big-1)) 135 kg explosive, 165 kg total, 430 mm caliber]
C5) Add 5x1 - 12,7mm MG DSHK – by 2 for each side, 1 forward. Actually in the some of ships it was removed soon.
2. EM Skory Mod Class (#1267) – the later version after upgrade (1960-1970).
a) Better change the name of the class to something like “EM Pr.30 BA”. It is more natural for USSR standarts and looks more professional.
b) Sensors:
C1) Remove “2 x Watch Dog A” RWR – some RWR assets was in modification – Pr.31 (#1881) – will described later.
C2) Actually sonar was changed to GS-572 "Gerkules" but I cant find it in database. Instead there is a sonar GS-572 "Pegas", I think there is a mess.
C3) Add an observation radar “Slim Net (Fut-N)”
c) Weapons:
D1) Add a second torpedo mount, like in (#1266). Second torpedo mount was removed only in Pr.31(#1881)
D2) Remove 5x1 57/50 mount
D3) Add a 1x4 ZIF-75 Quad mount. ATTENTION: I found another error in database – ZIF-71 is not a Quad, but single gun!!
D4) Some of the ships got 2-3 25mm/60 2M-3M Twin mounts. I think 2 can be added for game.
3. EM Skory Mod [Pr.31 Besshumny] ](#1881). – ESM patrol upgrade .
a. Better change the name of the class to something like “EM Pr.31”.
b. Reduce speed from 35 to 32 knots
c. Sensors:
B1. Change sonar “Tamir-5” by “Gerkules”.
d.Weapons:
D1. ATTENTION: Error in database – ZIF-71 is not a Quad, but single gun!! So please adjust it.
D2. Change 533mm Triple TT to 533mm Quint TT with SET-53 torpedoes
