:rotfl: I know that DW is a simulation, but the fact remains that subs are by far the most secret weapons platforms in the world. Therefor no estimate can be considerd 100% accurate. So it kills me when i see someone challenging the stats used in the game. I know that in the past year there has been a few justifiable challengs about time to change depth or time to deploy and retrive TA. But alot of that came from real life bubble heads who had first hand knowlege. I am sure that most of the crew on a sub never knows how deep they are or how fast they are traveling. And most of all, How good there sensors are. And the ones that really do know are from a rank that would only have been achived because of dedication to service and would not reveal that information just to impress us here. So with that said ill say that I belive the SW probley performs better in RL than the way its modeled in the game. Same goes for the 688. I also belive the Harpoon and TASM are more effective in RL than they are in the game. At the same time I myself dont belive the SS-N-27ASM is as effective in RL as it is in the game. But thats just how i feel. Doesnt mean I am rite. I dont belive the Akula 2 is quiter than a 688 But again thats just MHO. And for sure I cant belive that a noise maker can kill a Torp. But no one really knows the truth to any of this because first off there is no combat data to research. Second this is al closely guarded secrets. Once a friend told me wile he was in the Navy his ship was part of a carrier screening force. He said one day the carrier just took off at high speed. He said the bow of the carrier was almost lifting out of the water and that there was a roosta tail at the stern that was almost as high as the flight deck. Now I never read anything that would suggest a carrier could go that fast. But, Does that mean he was lieing?
