The title says it all.
The modders of DWX sustain that the operating depth of the Alfa is around 600m. The decision has caused great havoc in the italian forum where most players can't accept this fact. They cite janes publications as a source that states that the Alfa can go way below 600m. Even Lwami uses this estimate. Now in a recent american book, Cold War Submarines which I happen to have; at page 281 the author Norman Polmar states that : Quote:
The question I ask is therefore, why are important publications such as jane's still continuing the myth of the Alfa's depth ? The Mike an early 80's sub could go down to 1000m as stated in Cold War Submarines;but certainly not the Alfa which was a first generation titanium hull submarine made a decade earlier. |
