just done a custom mission on the SSN21 and found it to be a lot harder to handle than an akula heres my thoughts.
firstly im amazed at this submarine not only is it unique to the american navy its also unique to the world and its a great submarine. i did find some problems though it might be cause im new to the acctual sub i found vepr was able to detect and fire at me before i even detected it (i was at 7 knots about 15 miles away) the vepr fired 3 SS-N-27ASW missiles at me all of which failed to sink me. i came in close finaly getting new contact at 7 miles range shortly after i got the dredded TIW warning the vepr fired 4 53cm torpedos at me i evaded them but speed and CM's and im impressed that the sub can go to 40 knots no problem after a little shoot out with vepr in which i fired 6 MK48ADCAPS at and she still didnt sink i proceaded to sink two surface ships, i raised to 60 feet and fired 3 harpoons and two TASM all of which were shot down. i fired 3 torps at the kirov again failing to sink her but putting her out of action and another 2 torps into a sovremenny also failing to sink her (one missed) but she wasnt out of action not properly she launched her helo. i went deep i saw on the usni that 1968 feet is max depth so i went there but when i got there no crush warning so i went down further in steps of 50 feet finaly at 2150 feet it came i paniced and rose to 1400 feet i was amazed at such depth for this submarine normaly in the 688 i could only go to 1600 feet back in SC the akula could go to 2,300 feet and even further to 715 meters (2,345 feet) now the sensors all of them bar the periscope were beyond me i could bearly handle the 688's so forget asking about the 21's it was just too far advanced i prefer my akulas simplisty all in all I TAKE MY HAT OFF TO THE AMERICANS FOR PRODUCING SUCH A GREAT SUBMARINE im truly amazed at this boat and i can now say my gepard would have sever problems finding and sinking the seawolf in a one on one battle but it did take a bit for the seawolf to get to the vepr and in a very experianced akula skipper so it kinda gives me a little advance but yeah i admit for once i think i will have difficaultys in sinking such a vessel
