I have been driving the Akula 1 971U. What an upgrade from the Kilo.

I love the towed array. Can detect out to 60km! The sonar station is great. I hope the Kilo's Broadband gets fixed in the patch so it works as realistically as the Akulas

My question is: can the towed array be damaged? I see in the manual that it can't snap at flank speeds,

can it foul the prop or something? :hmm:

just wondering cause if not, why ever retract it?
