Victor 3 was on par with 637 class, and Sierra and Akula are known to have been on par with the Flight 1 688s. The entire reason the Seawolf exists is because the Soviets made a quantum leap in silencing once they started taking it seriously, and their boats became very competitive.
And you should be working hard when you face the latest and best the Soviets can field, not have a 10db advantage like before.
