A few questions regarding submarines

EFileTahi-A · 01-02-09, 06:04 AM

I'm coding a futuristic turn based submarine war game and I need to understand some basic features of nowadays subware.

Please note that some questions might look (or are indeed) dumb, give me a discount will ya?

1 - How fast can a nowadays military sub ascend and descend?

2 - Maximum depth of military subs / maximum depth ever recorded (Cientific piloted subs included).

3 - I understand that electrolysis and special equipment is required to produce air. But what if this life support system fails. Do they imediately need to surface or they also store air in pressurized tanks?

4 - Does depth influences in any way the speed of torpedos or their ability to work? (at very deep depths)

5 - Does depth influences in any way the sonar's efficiency?

6 - Is there any restriction or different behaviour on submarines when in extreme deep depths, i.e. do subs operate the same way dispiting the depth they are?

Thank you for any possible info.
