K-1: Soviet Tier X Researchable Submarine 1939 (How to Obtain)

 

K-1 Soviet Tier X Researchable Submarine 1939

A large submarine designed for joint operations with surface ships, long-distance raids, and minelaying missions (K-class, XIV series). She was armed with 10 torpedo tubes and had a relatively high surface speed. The lead submarine, K-1, operated in Northern waters during World War II, and several German ships were sunk by her mines. The submarine herself disappeared without a trace in 1943.

Welcome Soviet submarine   X K-1. She is a surface hunter, utilizing fast speed and deadly unguided torpedoes to conduct attacks from stealth at medium to long ranges. She can provide effective support for their teammates with a variant of the Submarine Surveillance consumable that boasts the best range for the type.

Enhanced acceleration compared to other submarines will help these Soviets keep their distance but just note that this sub has low dive capacity and a poor submerged speed, if forced to dive, dive capacity will be easy to run down!

How to obtain will be added as soon as details are available.

Sonar

Hitting the target with the help of sonar highlights the sector into which the torpedoes will home in on.

Hitting the highlighted sector for the second time increases the duration of the effect and improves the maneuverability of homing torpedoes.

Launched torpedoes home in on their priority target, which is the last highlighted hull sector.

Press G to ignore the priority target.
