[@hiltibrant1976]

lol that mission summary at the end of the second engagement: "Ok boomer, continue engagement."

[@Wolfpack345]

Lol :P

[@kotori87gaming89]

Couple things I've picked up from other comments, but worth highlighting. 1) the Shkval's indicated range isn't the actual range, it's the range at which it reaches full speed. Actual range is closer to 10km. 2) the Shkval in-game is only able to track surface ships, not submarines. 3) the USET-80 has multiple modes of operation. When you set it to run shallow (the upward arrow), it only tracks surface ships and ignores submarines. You've missed a number of torpedo shots over several episodes this way.

[@danielross7983]

As we're giving advice... One thing that is annoying me immensely is your poor use of the towed array. If you are NOSE to target, your towed array cannot see the enemy. They work especially well when at 90 degrees because each sensor in the array will have a different solution to target and you get a composite solution very quickly. Also MOST if not ALL NATO subs, including diesel electrics don't have baffles because they use towed arrays. Finally an OSCAR is not an SSN - it is an SSGN, it's mission is anti-surface, not anti-sub. It's SOP is to try to disengage from other subs if possible. It's anti-sub torpedeos are self-defence.

[@Wolfpack345]

Daniel Ross, Sure I could have disengaged but there are a few reasons I did not. 1. In Cold Waters if you disengage from an enemy target it stays on the campaign map and will continue to intercept you. It can get annoying. 2. That would make for a boring video. :P As for the Towed Array. I don't believe that the towed array is this complex in Cold Waters. In Dangerous Waters it is and when playing that Sim I do what you are saying. However I have noticed no difference in CW and there is nothing in the manual supporting that it is that complex. I could be wrong though. As for "Also MOST if not ALL NATO subs, including diesel electrics don't have baffles because they use towed arrays." Sure they may all have Towed Arrays but that does not mean they are using them. If you look at the sensors tab you will see many of them are not using their towed as they may be going too fast or too close to the ice.

[@danielross7983]

@@Wolfpack345 Fair enough.. I'm going by what happens IRL... Mind you, in IRL a sub can sprint with it's array out. Do you have to wait for the array to straighten out after a turn in Cold Waters? And talking about the ice, that's probably why the second sub was diving deep, to get away from the noise.

[@Wolfpack345]

​@@danielross7983 Yeah, the towed array is not really modeled that well. I don't think you have to wait for it to straighten out. It is just treated as a really good sensor with none of the befits (or handicaps) of having it deployed behind the submarine. It would be cool to have the Towed array be modeled to such a high fidelity, but I suppose we have Dangerous Waters for that. (Something I want to do on the channel)

@Matthew Caughey mhm. At least in the epic mod in this timeframe it's the third or fourth quietest boat in the russian navy. Only the Kilo, Akula and Sierra(? the one single tech demonstrator ship with the bought and stolen western tech) are quieter. I think it's very capable. At least I use it a lot in my Cold Waters games. And it's one of the few subs with towed arrays in the 80s russian campaigns.

[@Yuubari_]

Great video! I just have a couple possible tips, the supercavitation torps have a Range far greater than shown, it is just the range when they start going full speed. And for the surfaced Skipjack, why not throwing a Granit at it, that would have probably worked nicely (if not a bit overkill)

[@Veloxyll]

Given he ran out of asw torps, i don’t think it’s that overkill. Besides, he had spares!

[@YurNikolaev]

The primary intended use of Shkval require nuclear charge. It's a special torpedo for submarine duel situation in a nuclear World War 3. Super-fast but unguided nuke-tipped Shkval can reach the target very fast. Enemy sub don't have time to run far. And with the nuclear charge precision is not needed. Enemy regular torpedoes require much more time to reach the target.

[@antonioestevesala1782]

Nice video as always, best wishes from Spain Wolfpack!

[@STRIDER_503]

42:26 it's really funny that Skipjack had her nose sticking out of water, like "I'm still here, bitch! Don't you dare to run away from me!" but Wolf be like "well yeah I don't think there's much you can do about me anyway."

Against that surfaced Skipjack, a deck gun would have been handy. 😂

Is it possible to play with the Yasen-M class Russian submarines in any way, shape or form? With mods maybe?

[@tnarggrant9711]

Mistakes are good. And that Skipjack going under the ice slowly sinking to it's probable doom... Metal as fuck.

[@Zumbatoo]

Last torp on the skipjack was set for shallow sub search. Since skipjack surfaced you should set your last torp for ship, active sonar. Passive sonar is wake homing and should be active to cross the path of the surfaced vessel to pick up the wake.

[@nickcarlson171]

[@ChrisS-fh7zt]

Oh the Rubis class which was the French main SSN until the newer Barracuda class replaced it in the mid 2000's When you are a boomer or missile carrier sub you never go active unless you are like outnumbered 3 to 1 and they are surrounding you and you are at full or flank speed to start dodging their torps and weapons deployed against you. Remember quiet as the grave is your best defense, unlike a SSN where you can turn the tables and so start hunting them if the opportunity arises but if there is a window you take it and quietly slip pass when you are a SSBN or SSGN

[@_tyrannus]

The newer submarines are actually Suffren-class, which was designed in the Barracuda program alongside the Attack-class submarines that were built for Australia. Also of note is that Rubis were still confirmed as active just last year, and 5 years ago one of them managed to sneak upon and mock-sink a US carrier group in an exercice, too! Amazing little boats.

[@yoannsaouzanet325]

My brother is actually in service in the Amethyst, one of the six Rubis class SSN, they're still waiting on the new Barracuda class. The Suffren just did the weapon testing so I'd say there's still a couple of years to wait for the rubis class to be replaced.

[@_tyrannus]

@@yoannsaouzanet325 I thought Suffren was the class and Barracuda just the program's name which it came out of. I can't imagine how amazing the Suffren will be after such a long development phase, I hope to live old enough to read about it once some degree of information gets declassified. If the older Rubis/Améthyste-class managed to sneak upon a US carrier group, I can only imagine that its successor will be quite the nasty opponent to whoever dares challenge it.

[@yoannsaouzanet325]

@@_tyrannus you must be right about barracuda being the program name. I just keep mixing them up. Suffren is the first submarine of this class, which makes sense then to call it the Suffren class.

[@_tyrannus]

​@@yoannsaouzanet325 Don't worry, we are champions at creating confusing class and program names for the sake of making good gem themed puns. :) Améthyste stands for AMÉlioration Tactique HYdrodynamique Silence et Écoute. As the name indicates (or does it?) it was a modernization program for the operational fleet of Rubis-class subs, upgrading them to the new standard that the Améthyste, then the lastest Rubis-class sub, was built to.

[@Lemard77]

Is there a way to make use of the P-700's insane range? the game close range instance system screws it since you should be able to fire those at like 400 km away well outside the range of any possible counterfire. Then it would turn into a DCS mission whereas F-14s would scramble to intercept the missiles before they get close, if they fail then it's up to countermeasures and CIWS systems ^^
