The Urga Hroch is a landing-craft type boat in Just Cause 3.

Appearance

The Urga Hroch is a military landing craft, a type of boat used to transport soldiers, vehicles and/or supplies from sea to shore during an amphibious assault.

The boat is long with high side walls surrounding an open cargo deck. The cargo deck has ample space for one large vehicle or two smaller ones. An armored ramp at the front of the boat allows vehicles to board and disembark. It can carry 4-5 Urga Szturm 63As, and possibly more of smaller vehicles.

The control point, from which the boat is operated, is located at the rear.

The Rebel drop description says: "Designed with an armored front ramp for immediate beachead deployment, the Urga Hroch is an essential tool when conducting island warfare."

Performance

The Hroch is a surprisingly fast and agile boat with an ability to achieve speeds of up to 33 knots and make tight turns. It can even do a J-turn, if you're in a hurry. This is a major improvement over the terrible handling of the Zhejiang 6903 in Just Cause 2.

It can be used to transport vehicles by lowering the front ramp, by pressing R1 ( PS4  ), RB ( Xbox One  ), or LMB ( PC  ).

Despite the rebel drop "armor" rating saying otherwise, it is pretty well armored in-game, about as durable as a tank. Two to three hits from a CS Odjur will sink it.

Trivia

• The vehicle was first revealed in the Just Cause 3 Story Trailer, which showed a fragment of the mission Missile Cowboy.
• "Hroch" is Czech and Slovak for "Hippo".
• Medici Military versions of this vehicle are always driven by prisoners, presumably to indicate how expendible they are to the current government.
• It is manufactured by the fictional company Urga.
• With careful pushing, it is possible to fit six Urga Szturm 63As on it.
• See also: Barge.
  • The successor to this vehicle is the Spearhead Transport in Just Cause 4. That one is much bigger and much more heavily armored.
• The rebel drop description seems to have a letter missing. "Beachead" should have two "h"s next to each other.
