FFG-7 rules

If there was a western diesel (prefferably collins) then perhaps it would have some competition, cause the kilo sucks.

688(i) (aka 751 class). At least until a Cold War mod comes out with a 637 class platform.

I picked the Akula, mainly because of the Russian sound mod. In a month, I'd be able to count 0-9 in Russian

Do you need to count past three ?

1. Thats a Mk48 ?
2. Heck - get outa town !
3. Aaagggh ! Gurgle, gurgle !

Well, I've never done multiplayer, but so far I've been able to win by lobbing SS-N-27s at my sub enemies. Never had a success with the Shkval though. Someday, I'd be able to pronounce that babble that goes on as I launch External Tube 1...

I'm surprised more people here don't prefer the MH-60 helo. I can see why alot of people here like the P-3 as an air ASW asset. But MH-60 has it's own advantages. The ASW mission from the MH-60 is slower and more careful. You don't carry alot of sonobouys or weapons, so you have to be more skillful in localizing a target for prosecution. The good thing is you can hover and have a dipping sonar. Using this in conjunction with 2 sonobouys is useful for contact triangulation. MAD passes seem more controlled. I've found hunting submarines in the MH-60 to be quite enjoyable.

Overall, the P-3 is a better and more flexible ASW asset, but MH-60 still is quite useful in this role.

But still:

1. Seawolf (Sometimes FFG-7 rotates into #1)
2. FFG-7 (Sometimes Seawolf rotates into #2)
3. MH-60

Helo is actually my #2 most of the time.

To be totally honest, I just don't "get" the P-3C. I just find it far too difficult to employ it effectively as an ASW asset. The MH-60 is easy, I can stop, gain my bearings and take as many dips as I want before finally prosecuting a contact.

I like the 688 by far. And im supprised it is a contender with the FFG for first place. I thought the Akula 2 and Seawolf would be hard fought for first place. I think the Seawolf is to advanced for multiplayer gaming in all respects. I think the Akula is just as quit as a 688 with equle sonar abilitys and a far more powerfull weapons package. The Kilo even without a tail and with less tubes and even less tubes for smart weapons is still so quit it is still a signifecant threat to a 688. IMO the 688 is the underdog of the game. The only sub it seems to have any kind of advantage over is the Kilo. But in all the missions i have seen that pit a Kilo againts a 688 is conducted in shallow water were that advantage is stripped away.

I'm a sucker for the Russian stuff, particularly the Akula (mmm... there's a surprise considering my modeling thread I hear everyone say). It might not be the best sub in the sim, and the model is not very much like a real one as far as looks go, but it is close enough and the thing is quite capable when you learn its nuances. Being able to fire the squall torpedo is great when the gloves come off and stealth goes out of the window, too.
