Problems to classify a contact (Kilo/Akula)

Figadas · 06-04-06, 10:07 PM

Hi guys, I need help to classify a contact. Currently I only play the Kilo but I'm planing to take a look also at Akula, so If someone could help me with both or at least one of them I'll be glad.

First of all, I'm not a sub expert so I'm always trying to learn everything by reading the user manual, a lot of docs/tutorials (subguru) and posts here.

Well, I know of a Sonar Profile that lists every sub/surface/torpedo frequencies, tpk and blades. I also know that subs like 688 at the Narrowband station has a sound profile graphic that helps you classify a contact. There you can see 4 frequencies to help you do it (they even have a little program that shows the sonar lay-out for each contact).

Anyway, my problem is with the Narrowband station on Kilo/Akula...often, at the station I receive 2 or 3 results with similar profiles and I dont't know what I have to do to be more precise and to make sure of which one listed is the right one, since some frequencies are close like a Cargo Ship and an Oiler.

Do I need to collect more info on other stations to add to the Narrowband to help me classify any contact? Do I need to come closer so the Narrowband itself will become more reliable or more precise?

I'm also looking for Akula/Kilo guides, does anyone know where I can find one?

TIA

regards
