Shhhh....I'm hunting Alfas

[cj95]

Enjoying the heck out of this game and wondering what everyone's opinion of the most dangerous/difficult foe is?


For me I have the most trouble with the Alfas which might not be necessarily dangerous, but sure are hard to get a bead on especially in the slow Narwhal that I prefer.


I can hear them from miles away but damn if they don't kick it into Warp speed when I launch, invariably outrunning or outmaneuvering my torps.:o

DoD was not happy my last mission expended 6 MK48s on a single Alfa.

I'd say a pair of Udaloys in shallow waters.
Especially in bad weather where you can't detect them from far away.

Dive deeper,, go in thier baffles under 4000yards.. and launch.. passive torp.
Then they dont run out your torps,speciallywhen you can manually steer them via wire

Sierras.

Sierras.

What a pain



See that's the thing about Sierras....Im not afraid of them but dang they are a pain in the ass to locate.

Victor II's in 1968. They can out run your only ASW weapon, and they have better sonar if you're in a Skipjack. Oh and their torpedo's can run you down.
