Chinese boats

[GeneralGamer]

The new Chinese boats need to be treated with caution. They are noisy as hell. In my first battle there were 7 transient launches, when I went to battle stations at 10k yards, before I could slow to 5kts. I would suggest starting at 15k yards instead of 10k if your running faster than 5 kts.

Do snapshots when you can to avoid incoming torpedo launches.

The Chinese boats are a real challenge and no match for other subs and or surface ships. So to win a battle requires a different strategy. I will take one out tomorrow again and hopefully show a video of game play.

I think the mod maker did a great job and these boats are accurate.

Oh, you mean playing as the Chinese boats, they're noisy as hell? It doesn't seem like an enemy could be both noisy as hell and challenging

Perhaps he meant challenging to play using them successfully. This seems in contrast to the Chinese sub which surfaced near a US fleet in the middle east, perhaps getting close enough to be detected.

Exactly.. The worst thing that can happen is finding a contact while you are running at high speed. Your Chinese boat turns into a torpedo magnet when you go to battles stations.

I put up a video showing some game play where I get caught doing exactly that unintentionally. It funny but scary in real life. Watch and learn what not to do.
