(CCPlays) Cold Waters Dot MOD | Can a Zwardviss-class Sub Complete the Udaloy Challenge?
0Welcome to Captain Chang Plays (CCP) Cold Waters w/ DotMod.
Today, we attempt the Udaloy challenge with a Zwardviss-class diesel-electric sub. "Zwardviss" is Dutch for "swordfish", and is based on the old Barbel-class US Navy submarine that predates the nuclear submarines. They were using the refurbished Mk 37 torpedoes, known as the NT37, and did not switch to Mark 48 until 1988.
Mark 37 is based on the WW2 Mk 27 design and is quite slow in game, being only capable of 35 kts and range of about 20 km. Keep in mind that Udaloy is capable of 34 kt and Alfa submarine is capable of 41 kt. Also, being a smaller torpedo, you generally need TWO hits to sink a ship.
Given that the entire sub is only capable of carrying about 20 or so torpedoes, killing all Udaloys may well be impossible.
What is the Udaloy Challenge you ask? It's quite simple. You in a sub, against 10 Udaloy DDG set to aggressive. Kill all 10, suffer no damage, and you are one tough submariner. (at least Realistic difficulty)
You can easily test this yourself in the Mission Editor, only takes a minute to setup.
I'll just warn you... it can be quite difficult.
Are you up to the challenge?
Spoiler: I killed 3 out of 10, and wounded a 4th, and disengaged with no damage, after using EVERY torpedo I got.
