Cold Waters Tactics: Sinking the Enemy Fleet in "Opening Shots"
#Coldwaters #Submarine #dotmod #modded #moddedcoldwaters #688 #Losangeles
Need tactical help with the mission "Opening Shots" as a Los Angeles-class (aka 688) SSN? Watch me destroy the entire Soviet fleet (including a surprise factor) with some patience.

As we entered into the scenario, we found 4 ships... 2 Kresta Is, 1 Kara, and 1 Udaloy. I deployed towed array, went silent running, and dove below the layer to make sure we didn't get detected early, as Soviet fleet had ASW helo support.
We waited until we got a decent solution, then launched two torpedoes via a dogleg to the east, then north. We then launched a third torpedo.
We sank the Kara and one of the Kresta 1's.
We reloaded and launched two more torpedoes to the north, to be turned northeast, while we turned and tried to evade the Soviet maritime aerial patrol and the ASW helos, which were getting a bit close.
And that's when we detected the Sierra-class sub well to the north.
Our third torpedo caught the Udaloy.
We sent our fourth and fifth torpedo after the remaining Kresta I and the Sierra. Kresta reacted too late and was sunk, but Sierra turned north and went to flank speed, outrunning my torpedo.
We decided to go slow and deep to evade the ASW helos and aerial patrol, while waiting for the Sierra to turn back, and eventually it did... at 18 kts, which means it can't hear anything until it gets within 15 km on active sonar. We can hear it coming long before that, and prepare for its arrival.
We waited until it was inside 20 km, but we had turned toward it to present minimal profile. We launched two torpedoes, and dogleg'ed it at 4km. The Sierra did not detect the torpedoes until it came to about 14km, and was not able to evade. It tried, but both torpedoes struck.
We disengaged, after confirming the clean sweep.

There were many different factors discussed, from how to position your submarine, to how to read sensor panels. How to set activation points with torpedo, and how to dogleg. How to conduct baffle attacks and how to consider approach angles to optimize sensors. How to locate enemies...
