The Snorting Kilo - some basic tests

Stewy1 · 04-10-20, 04:47 AM

G'day guys,

I did some (very basic) tests with the Kilo and snorkelling (sorry, I say 'snorting').

A Kilo 877, while snorting, will be detected by:

* a Flt 1 LA SSN at 31.2 NM
* a Perry Class Frigate @ 5 kts (no EMCON) at 24 NM
* a Perry Class Frigate @ 5 kts (EMCON) at 28.5 NM (I thought these numbers would be flipped!)

Therefore, if a Kilo Captain was in the combat area, and needed to get to a 'safe' place to snort/snorkel (say, 40NM from the area of likely submarines - in open ocean), it would take 10 hours @ 4 kts and expend 15% of battery charge to get there).

Just some food for thought; I know most people don't play long Kilo missions

Stew
