SSN-21 Seawolf, one of my all-time favs!



From the review:

Quote:
The torpedoes that assail you are avoidable, through timing and attentive maneuvering, but they tie you down and limit your response. To effectively evade, you must retrieve the towed array, because the boat won’t do over half power with it out. And you need speed if you want to survive. Once the array is in, you can turn and burn but you can’t hear, and that means you can’t target and return fire. I don’t know how realistic this is, because this type of war has never been fought and recorded (and hopefully never will). You shoot through the depths and thermals and torpedoes trail you. At some point, if you’re good and lucky, things cool down and you can quiet down for another round.


Nicely done, Fincuan, you are currently in second with 6 wins.

These grueling trials are taking their toll, the hon. Red Heat just became another casualty of war.

Of course, not all Mystery Subsims will be this easy... I've loaded up a doozy for Mystery Subsim #30... coming soon.
