Akula does carry skvhal if I remember right tubes 1-4 and externals personally on my load out I'd carry two in the external tubes along with two or three stallions, I will say this Oberon is right about akulas being slippery customers if your playing against someone who is very competent with the Akula chances are even in a sea wolf he will find you before you find him, the best thing about American submarines in Dw is you have a history display the Russians don't and that does give you an advantage.
What I used to do in mp is plop a couple of stallions out a fair distance those who figured out my tactics knew if they stay put they could win, but most sub drivers would flank dive and turn this giving themselves away so I could track and fire on them.
In the ra mod I think you can load a nuke stallion thus but don't use it don't forget the akula is quiet under 4 knots it also dives to 500+ meters not only that it does out run a 688 a lot of people choose sea wolf because they believe it's quiet and fast the true quiet one is the kilo now there's a track and trail job.
If you want to really screw the akulas day up come in head on to it the how and hull arrays are unlikely to find you and the towed array doesn't cover the front end.
Keep sea wolf to below 8 knots come from below the Akula preferably below the layer, keep sharp too. Chances are once you launch he will snapshot launch too there is no out running a skvhal only hope you have is to out turn it as they can't turn and are not wide guided they are a straight run torpedo and a range of 6 miles, don't be fooled though the Akula does have a big bite a 65cm can ruin your day it's almost like a mk48.
Personally once you find and track him put a range circle of 7 miles around him that way your out of skvhal range it also gives you around 3 minuets to scoot if he fires back.
Do not get close do your work from 7 miles or more and use your subs sonar history it will give you a better handle on him.
