Back in Moscow An aircraft carrier and its entire escort wiped out by one submarine while its captain turned tail and ran. There was only one punishment suitable for this cowardice. The Akula's nameplate was removed and from the jet black box came a new name for the ship. One that was never to be mentioned again in Russian naval history. The Akula would now forever be known as "Kamchatka."

@@turtle2720 not quite…let’s say for example your target is due north of you, ie, bearing 000 (position relative to your boat). Instead of setting your torpedoes to run straight at them, you instead set them to run at 090, due east, for a while, while at the same time you reposition the boat to a course of let’s say 300. This will keep you aggressive to the target, but also further from where the snapshot is going to be aimed at; if you do it slow and steady, you’ll keep your wires for guidance (which is the goal), so after a few kyds you can then turn the torpedoes in towards the enemy. Once they detect them, (and they haven’t detected you, most importantly) they will assume a straight shot and fire their own torpedoes against your shots, which would be between a heading of 180 to probably 145 (so, south to southeast). Meanwhile, you’re sitting low and slow in the southWEST of them, completely out of the path of fire.

sometimes when you are so quiet and the AI is so preoccupied with the torpedoes you can ram them... even at the highest difficulty.

I'll make a suggestion on tactics that I found quite effective. In this case, you would have been better off firing the moss on the same or similar vector as your torpedoes and then turn your sub southeast (roughly same direction you actually fired the moss). This would have drawn off the helo and enemy return fire would be toward the moss or the reverse vector of the torpedoes, neither of which would be towards you. In this case they could not detect you, so they fired on the reverse vector of your torpedoes and you were there, so you had to 180 it out of their path. An additional benefit of firing the moss at the formation of ships is that they will often swamp that area with torpedoes, and if the moss is heading towards them, it will draw their own torpedoes back at them. I've gotten credit for several ships that were sunk by their own torpedoes. Either way, firing at that distance gave you lots of options which is always a good thing. Nice job!

Also probably would have been good to not drag the sub along the seafloor for about 20 minutes, during which time he launched a torpedo into the ground, and activate said torpedo on his own head.

Hey Wolfpack, first time I comment under one of your videos. Just wanted to drop a tip about that Akula. When you get an enemy contact, its position on the map is relative to your boat, so unless you have 95% solution - which makes the enemy visible in game - the enemy will be somewhere on the imaginary straight line starting from your boat and passing through the contact position on the map. Just draw that line in your head and you'll have considerable less worries when a contact appears in a unlikely and/or dangerous position.

Never since battle of Tsushima has the Russian fleet being wiped out in that short of time.

Not sure if it was you or Tortuga, but one time the helicopters in this game along with the ASW ships in a big task force dropped all of their ordinance on top of one of their own submarines operating on the far side of the fleet… I noticed it, but whichever one of you it was never saw it until it was hit and sunk.

By the time of the events in mod, this ship (whatever they named it at the time) was a derelict hulk before it was able to be put back in the active service as INS Vikramāditya on 14.06. 2014. While the design of Soviet/Russian aircraft carriers is sound, their operational deployment was nothing more than dead weight on Russia's economy. Normally, Kuznetsov should be scrapped too, but Putin wants to keep it for the prestige only🙄

And because t sunk in shallow waters that aircraft carrier will make one hell of a reef and dive location one day. Sure, minus the leaking oil and fuel...but still! :)

Hey Wolfpack. Longtime fan. First-time comment. I don't know if you'll see this but I thought I'd ask, have you ever considered Graviteam Tactics? It's definitely right up your alley. Somewhat 'Gates of Hell'-esk, but more of a simulation and done on a grander scale. It would make for an awsome Wolfpack345 video series. Something like IL2 Tank Crew but with infantry, and playing as the Division/Battalion Commander. I'm still new to it myself and working through the 'OMG what is this UI stage', but the potential definitely seems worth it.

RE: The torpedo chasing the Akula It ran out of gas. It was chasing an Akula heading directly away from it going 32 knots, after already having traveled 20k+ yards. The Mk. 48 is good, but it's not magical.

Oh boy this is going to be a fun one . God I hope you don't get launched on 👍👍👍💯💯💯

I wonder if the U.S military has a combat order to sink enemy nuke subs in deep water because it would help. Apparently that is the poor mans way to dump nuclear reactor vessels sink them/scuttle them deep.

If there's one thing that Russia's good at its making submarines. The Akula is a very dangerous adversary. My favorite Russian sub is still the Alpha though. its the fastest military submarine ever built. Heavily automated. It had very few crew. It could dive incredibly deep and when it wanted to, it could hide from all but active sonar. It scared the pants off of our brass, when they first heard about it. They refused to believe the reports from our monitoring sub, suggesting that they were making it up. After they accepted reality, we saw a sudden push for better subs and faster torpedoes for our own navy. If there's one thing that Russia can do, it's build submarines.

Nominally minimal...aside from the ocean being the largest heat sink available, shock damage should cause the reactor control rods to drop, thereby shutting down the reactor. Decay heat isn't an issue, as aforementioned sea water being a heat sink...there was no appreciable affect on sea life noted from either the USS Thresher or USS Scorpion destructions, and to my knowledge they didn't/couldn't recover the cores from either of them. Granted, now we're talking about the differences between USN and RUS reactor design and construction, which is a whole long list of other variables.
