K-1 Soviet Tier X Researchable Submarine 1939

A large Kreyserskaya-class submarine (series XIV) designed for use in joint operations with surface ships, as well as long-distance solo raids. The boat was armed with ten torpedo tubes, and could run at a comparatively high speed while on the surface.

Key Features of Soviet Submarines

The main role of the new branch in battle is to counter other submarines. Soviet submarines' torpedoes have low damage and long reload time, but good range and speed. The number of loaders allows only part of the bow and stern torpedo tubes to be reloaded simultaneously similar to how it works on the American submarines. These torpedo characteristics do not allow for high damage per torpedo salvo, so they are less effective against targets with good torpedo protection and good HP pools.

 

In addition to torpedoes, all submarines in the branch have a player-controlled main battery. It has a low range and number of guns, so it is most often used in combat with other submarines or with ships that have low remaining hit points. Only SAP shells are available.

 

The new submarines have an average dive capacity and low recharge rate. They also have a mediocre concealment, which is compensated for by a good speed on the surface.

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.

Reload:  6.0 s

Duration of a ping effect on a highlighted sector:  once 25 s/ twice 65 s

Ping velocity:  600 m/s

Ping width:  15 m

Max Range:  10.0 km
