Just had my first Viktor kill

commandosolo2009 · 08-20-15, 05:29 AM

He was within 1.5 nm and he fired 2 fish, I wedged an active and a passive decoy between his LOB and me, his fish ate decoys like real good, so I decided he must be within 2.5 so I quickly pin a Zulu on the map, launch 3 ADCAP at it, and soon I hear his TPK rising from 4 to 31 kts so he must be ****ting his pants... Sonar reports loud explosion on his bearing, with my 3rd fish just leaving the tube, I shut it down and head south.

Any idea how to recon the rebels surface in Petropavlovsk mission (Campaign mission 1, 688i)? Do I sneak between the ships to the harbor bay and mark the 2 Udaloys or just send a UUV to pick them up?

Sorry, were you in the Viktor or did you sink one?

Either way, good job, must've been satisfying

I was in a 688i (Topeka)

Good Hunting! I remember when I bagged my first Oscar - a real challenge to get into a good firing position (keeping out of Shkval range) and then avoid the fish that came at me - a great feeling when I won the day.

The first mission is rather anticlimactic as a 688i. Just get up to periscope depth and mark/take a photo of everything you see in the periscope! Or you could try it in a P-3 or do the Akula version, both are more involved.

Yes, the feeling is awesome!

I did take a peri mark on all ships outside Kamchatka/Petropavlovsk bay but I think I need to position myself northeast from the starting position, on the eastern lip of the entrance, so I can better photograph those two.
