My Akula loadouts:

ASW
1-2 SS-N-16
3-4 65 cm
1-8 53 cm
1-4 ex SS-N-27 ASW
5-6 ex Mine

ASUW
1-4 65 cm or SS-N-27 ASM
1-8 53-65 or SS-N-27 ASM
1-4 ex SS-N-27 ASM
5-6 ex Mine

Generally I score my kills with the SS-N-27 ASW missile, the 27 ASW arrives on target much faster than a conventional torpedo and the 27's warhead (torpedo) is much faster than nearly any other torpedoes. I've seen SW and 688i get killed with this weapon and had only about 10 seconds warning. The SUBROCs also give you the advantage of remaining covert since the launch is very hard to detect.

Another tactic, against a skilled SW skipper I drop four SS-N-27s in a bracketing pattern around the sub and four 65 cm fish once the SS-N-27s arrive on target. If in range I also fire 53cm and Shkval torpedoes (Shkvals down the bearing and 53s in a spread). Finally I fire the two mines behind me as I begin my evasion.
