Lada - Diesel or No Diesel ?

Avio · 04-19-19, 08:57 AM

I started playing the Lada and found there is no snorkeling function, unlike in that of the Kilo. Is the Battery charging simulated in the RA version?

Lada is Air-independent propulsion (AIP) submarine. In RA this propulsion doesn't work correct because it allows to reach only small speed 4-8 kts

DW engine is obsolete and hav many limitations, so in RA all AIP submarines are like with unlimited battery capacity.

Okay noted with thanks.

I had in mind: in real world AIP allows to reach only small speed (depends on technology), probably from 6 to 8 kts.

All above this speed should depletes batteries much faster - similar like in classic diesel-electric.

But in mod, AIP submarines haven't this limit. They works like nuclear ones :P

(sorry, my english is far from good)

Submarines with classic diesel-electric propulsion in RA mod:
- all Kilo & Kilo improved (RU, CH, IR)
- all Sauro batches (IT)

IRL Lada is diezel-electric.
There was/is work on AIP, but the only sub of the class in service is conventional.

I know, the same is with Harushio class. In RA all are AIP. In Real only Asashio after modernisation in 2000

Oh man, I'd love it if RA did a playable Oberon - what a Cold War warrior!

Hopefully one day

Yes,Oberon that would be good ! If only fully simulated : Kaleun_Thumbs_Up:

Lada was supposed to be an AIP submarine, but they never got the AIP module finished on time to make it to the sub.

I believe the plan is to retro-fit the AIP module in the future as it becomes available.
