akula class SSN & borei SSBN
The Akula Class Soviet Designation Project 971 Shchuka-B (pike-B)
tube load outs are :
Akula,s
4 x 533 mm caliber tubes - 28 torpedo reloads
4 x 650 mm caliber tubes - 12 torpedo reloads
tho K-152 Nerpa has
8 x 533 mm caliber tubes - 40 torpedo reloads
the Improved Akula and Akula II,s & the Single Akula III have
4 x 533 mm caliber tubes - 28 torpedo reloads
4 x 650 mm caliber tubes - 12 torpedo reloads
All Akula,s after the original 971 Batch of Submarines also have 6 x 533 mm SSE tubes (Submerged Signal Ejector) as well for decoys or possibly torpedos these are external to the pressure hull and are port or submarine tender re-loadable only
The first Borei Class SSBNS Project 955 boats all 3 of them used the entire front-end taken from unfinished Akula Class SSN,s so they got 8 tubes all 533 mm Caliber like K-52 Nerpa or 4 x 533 mm Caliber & 4x 650 mm Caliber this gives them a unusually high complement of torpedo tubes for a Ballistic Missile Submarine (SSBN) oscar hull parts were used as well the new Borei-II,s Project 955-A are constructed the same tho they were built new not using unfinished Akula Hulls & oscar hull parts like the original the new Borei II,S are the first russian submarine to have all moving rudder and stern control surfaces this gives them a better control then the originals also the hulls are better streamlined and they are even quieter then the original 3 boats Batch 955
Hope this info helps mate i made mine 8 then 6 vls,s decoys in the VLS System to be the decoy sse tubes
one thing to mention your set up has 14 internal torpedo tubes and 6 in the vls so you have got 20 torpedo tubes.
