About the first mission with akula

Rhodes · 08-01-06, 01:54 PM

I'm sorry for posting this, what do I have to do to end the mission, my radio messages says that I identifided all the rebel threats, then says to damage one big ship, then since I was detected to fire unless to defend myself. The end mission screen says tha the enemy inside the arbour is whiet to be identided. But to enter the harbour I have to came to the surface because its very shallow.
I ask for advice to the top aces heres, please.

As the Akula, you need to complete 3 goals.

- Land the Special Forces
- Visually ID (i.e. periscope) the Patrol Craft
- Prevent Exit From Harbor

The last one seems to be what you're stuck on, and all you really have to do is "Attack" (not Kill) just ONE of the "heavy hitters" in the Harbor. This includes any of the Slava or Sovremennyy class ships that are trying to exit. Hit any of those guys, and you'll have mission success.

The Akula mission is definitely the toughest one in that first campaign scenario.

I had loads of trouble with this mission myself because the AI would hit into each other or I would be counterdetected too early. Unfortunately, the part where you have to damage the larger vessel leads up from the beginning.

When you first start you should go to snorkel depth and search for all the surface ships with the periscope, pop out the ESM mast to sniff for signals, and try to identify the subs on the sonar. Then you should dive down 50-100m and pop up occassionally to update ship locations. You should launch the special forces early so you are ready right away to hit the ship. One time, I hit the ship really easily with two 53cms, one hit, but then got sunk by the Victor III nearby. The next time I got counterdetected so I had to attack the Victor III who was shooting torpedoes at me, and then I launched a series of 2 53cms and 2 53-SKs. Once one hits, you can exit the mission.
