Far cry from a PT Boat. Great someone did a restore on this piece of history but they should have put PT boats into the rivers of Nam. At least you had some room to sleep on one.
@mechanshican5 жыл бұрын
Sanitys Void a PT boat would have run aground and had trouble making turns in the narrow rivers and canals. Plus it's torpedos would be useless. The PBR is actually more heavily armed than a PT boat. It is purpose-built for riverine use.

@@mechanshican Well ok. But you should know I was suggesting the platform not the weapons of a PT boat. They also had larger boats on the river for the larger waterways.

@@SanitysVoid They used an Aluminum patrol boat based on a crew boat 50 ft. long called a PCF - aka "Swift Boat". They did use a few "Nasty" class PT boats - but only off shore. PT boats would have never had enough room to maneuver and would never be able to utilize their speed potential - which is one of their greatest assets.
