I have to admit that I probably didn't clarify: I decided to go back to my One True Love, the Akula (in this case Volk) for this attempt

. I was quite daft, I suppose, in that I tried running in deep and fast, then popping up at nearly point-blank range and pretty much emptying my tubes (in fact, I did empty them from a functional standpoint).

I'd started out with four 65-76s and four UGSTs in the internal tubes, and two 56-65Ks, two Klub-ASROCs and two Shkvals in the outers. Having used up my two SS-N-27 ASWs against the Scranton (which worked like a charm - I've decided that the Akula's propensity for classifying everything not wearing an "I am NOT a 688!" sticker as a 688 is probably beneficial if it's not obviously a surface target, even if it does mean my Nav screen is filled with the bloody things, and put out two N-27s and a pair of UGSTs for him to chew on; he didn't much like it!) I gave the Tico my two external 56-65Ks, the carrier (which the Kilo had very generously been trying to Link me to before getting ConnectiCUT

) four 65-76s, and two UGSTs each for another Tico and a Sacramento. Which worked well enough, except the two 56-65Ks.

Am I wrong in trying to get close to my targets? I tend to reckon that the closer the better; firstly because it reduces reaction time for the target, secondly because it gives me an easier solution, and thirdly because... well I dunno, maybe I read Red Storm Rising far too much when I was younger

and have a pathological fear of ASROCs and MH-60s.
