About the first mission with akula

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.
