Seconded the Mike is no prototype it is a completely stand alone class of vessel like the Project 661 Anchar or Papa class (which is pretty much a titanium hulled Charlie class in looks) Project 685 Plavnik Mike class still holds the world record for deepest diving military submarine as for linar succession the Project 671 RTK or Victor III were Succeeded by the Akula Project 971 As for the deeper you go sound still travels like the jet stream there is a thermal layer called the deep sound channel which was discovered by Dr Robert Ballard from Woodshole Oceanographic reasearch Laboratory.

In large depth have few thermal layers and few sound channels. But USA not know about so have not submarine with large depth diving. Last edited by denis_469; 07-12-17 at 04:19 PM. |

The deep sound channel was a test conducted of the west coast of Australia where a series of charges were let off in a certain sequence they rounded the Cape horn and were detected 6 hours later in the Bermuda listening station by SOSUS.
SOSUS led to the finding of USS Scorpion it also led the USN and CIA to K129 in the pacific with Project Jennifer and Azorian, SOSUS also tracked the 4 foxtrot submarines heading to Cuba in 1962 plus the two other November class submarines sent from the Med, and this is all from sea floor microphones. However in Operation Atrina in the 80's the Americans did have serious issues finding the 5 victor III sent out from the Northern Flota 4 were found after 8 days while they were on thier way home after completing thier tasks. The 5th under the command of captain 1st rank Victor Alikov (dubbed by the west as the prince of darkness) was never discovered

So after getting ripped apart by ASROC delivered Mark 46s for the 5th or so time, I took a peep in the weapons.txt since it felt like my usual torpedo dodging tactics weren't working. There's only one, and it has a seeker range of 2000 yards. This seems a little generous for 1984 (http://www.navysite.de/weapons/mk-46.htm has the Mod 5 at 1600 yards seeker range) but it's crazy for the 68 campaign (the Mod 1 that would have seen duty in 68 has a seeker range of 460 meters, or ~503 yards according to http://weaponsystems.net/weaponsyste...20Mk%2046.html).
Take those sources with the usual grain of salt, but 500 yards feels much more in line with general torpedo seeker capabilities in the 1960s. |

ver 1.03a hotfix
- created distinct models for early ASROC, firing Mk46 mod1 torpedoes and late ASROC, firing Mk46 mod5 torpedoes - early ASROC associated to Farragut, Garcia and Charles F. Adams class destroyers, late ASROC associated to Spruance and Knox class escorts - created late Essex class ASW carrier model for 1984 campaign, identical to Essex class ASW carrier but equipped with SH-60 helicopters instead of SH-3D - adjusted warhead weight of light weight torpedoes.It will require more hits from Mk46, Mk50 and UGMT-1 to kill a submarine. Adjusted warhead weight of Soviet torpedoes and missiles
