Pretty awesome sight! I've been playing the U-boat side, so I haven't seen groups of subs and tenders like that. Cool!

I like how, unlike the nuke boats, the Kilo is Diesel so you still have to manage fuel and battery life in combat. The Batt's dont last long ether but you get high speed submerged and a very quiet boat. "He's" like a fleet boat modern day.

Around half a mile. Accurate range was maybe 200 yards. And it would probably bounce off even a thin steel hull.

It's escort(s)! (unless you refer to them as a group, in which case they would constitute the escort.

VERY IMPRESSIVE. An entire flock of them! I have never seen that before. It reminds me of the Honus Wagner baseball card. Very few are known to exist, and you found four of them!!If you can save and make a video of the mission or load it in the single missions, I would enjoy watching it.
