Closed testing of researchable Soviet submarines S-1, L-20, and K-1 will begin in Update 0.11.10
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.
The consumables of the new subs are represented by the standard submarine Damage Control Party with a limited number of charges and Hydrophone. The Submarine Surveillance consumable is also present with special settings – it has a longer range and shorter preparation time, but its action time is reduced.
Please note that these settings are preliminary and may change multiple times during testing
Soviet submarine S-1, Tier VI
A series IX “Medium” type submarine intended for operating in oceanic conditions. It had a fairly powerful armament for its size, which included six torpedo tubes — four on the bow and two on the stern.
Soviet submarine L-20, Tier VIII
Part of the latest series of “Leninets” type underwater minelayers (series XIII-38), sporting eight torpedo tubes.
Soviet submarine K-1, Tier X
A large “Cruiser” type submarine belonging to series XIV. It was designed for engaging in joint operations with surface ships, as well as for long-range commerce raiding. It was armed with ten torpedo tubes and could achieve a high surface speed.
