In close, I get slammed, even far away I can't make it work. Above a layer or below doesn't matter, not particularly close but my launch results in a least two from each sub in the area and there is no way to beat four Spearfish that I can figure out.
By the time I run really far away (with time compression) and guide my torps back to where the contact(s) were (I can no longer see them and they are no longer on my sonar) the Spearfish are headed towards me in a spread that ensures I will have to deal with at least one or two - even at this distance. Too deadly...
I'm going to have to mod the mod - I just can't win at all after two days retrying the same mission from the autosave. They just can't be allowed to run for 12 minutes at 60 knots-that's almost twice as fast as the Yasen and you can't shake them by dancing. Relentless they are.

I am noticing the Spearfish is a beast as well in my testing. I may reduce the run time on it a little or lower the number of UK boats in the missions. After all, their really aren't that many. But since the 2004 Campaign has more capable weapons than the 1964 or 1984 campaign it probably makes sense to lower the number of opposing vessels further in the campaign.
Thanks for the report.
