How to sink Kirov?

YoYo · 06-12-17, 02:18 PM

Hi,
Did You test the 5th mission (Beating the odds) in Single Player?
If not, try it.
It's an armageddon.

If You launch Harpoons, every will be shot down by flak (or 80%), few minutes ago You will have 5-6 torpedos near You, if You escape be prepar to be detected by planes or helicopters and new set of torpedos? I did this mission 8 times till now I suppose, max I survived near 1 hour but all missions was a death machine

.
Any sugestions for this mission?

For sure, if I launched Harpoons I escaped immediately, I tested with set of Mk.48 also but if Soviet fleet detect them they start to move immediately.

Well in DW there is the same problem,,, but by accident I got some licks in on the Kirov,, you got to be some what close and undetected must have visual with scope,, you light him up with a Torp as she turns and runs from the torp and shows her stern you send your harpoons it's all in the timing ,, I just thought of if you can get in behind her on a track you might get a shot in ,,, coming in from the stern = less flak

Here you go.

Hard difficulty. 1.01b. All mods disabled (except that I forgot that I left MAD sensors at 400 but they don't matter here anyway).

PS. Sorry for bad quality - I have limited space on my hard drive

Thx, watched Today, will try Your technique. I used Mk.48 but with active sonar from the beginning, maybe it was the fault.

Great video. Tactics wise, what is the idea behind raising the ESM mast? Is it just to see whether there are helicopters and planes around?

Yes. You can't be sure where they are exactly, but my reasoning is, if the line comes at a big angle from the main group it could be close.

Thanks!
If you would see helicopters and/or planes, what would your reaction be? I'm still pretty bad at handling them so looking to see how other people do it
