Kilo weapon loadout

[Kirk]

Anyone know what weapons go in what tubes in the Kilo Sub. I was playing around that that sub, which is pretty cool and noticed on the tubes that some of a "P" which I remember from the other subs that means program for a waypoint. And others have a "P" and "W". Anyone help me with this? Thanks.

Tubes 1-4 are standard tubes that are loaded from the "Main Rack". These can fire anything but wireguided weapons (TEST-71s, UUVs etc)

Tubes 5 and 6 are loaded from their respective racks (#5 Rack etc) and can launch any weapon and has wire guide capablity.

The P is for the tube's Presets screen (RTE, Depth, Speed etc) the W (on 5&6) is for the Wireguide screen for that tube.

NOTE: TEST-71s should only be loaded in the Tube 5&6 racks NOT THE MAIN RACK! They cannot be loaded from the main rack to tubes 5 and 6 (SCS Really should remove them from that part of the loadout screen or make them capable of fire and forget use :roll: ) Also the PLAN TEST-71s once enabled and locked on to a target cannot be pre-enabled and redirected to another target, they can only be shutdown or pre-enabled (which just prevents the weapon from exploding).

What happens if you do use them from 1-4?

Nothing, you can't load them in to tubes 1-4 so don't load them in the main rack.

... SCS Really should remove them from that part of the loadout screen ...

yes, putting "---" as they did for the UUV in the TEST-71 main rack cell.


Also the PLAN TEST-71s once enabled and locked on to a target cannot be pre-enabled and redirected to another target, they can only be shutdown or pre-enabled (which just prevents the weapon from exploding).

Well, this occur only for the TEST-71 ME-NK used by the chinese improved KILO.
TEST-71 M (russians) & TEST-71 ME (chinese standard KILO) could be guided as wish once they have acquired a target.

it's strange a more sophisticated weapon could be less efficient than the older version : TEST-71 ME-NK of the improved KILO inferior to the TEST-71 ME of the older KILO.

you could test this on this mission =>
