Welcome back to Cold Waters with the Dot Mod mod expansion installed. This mod gives new weapons, submarines, instruments, and a whole bunch of other updates that can make the game a stiffer challenge.
We're back on another Royal Navy boat, this time the Trafalgar-class attack boat the HMS Talent, S-92. One of the better-named boats, the Talent is equipped with a mix of Spearfish and Tigerfish in this 1994 scenario, where I'm pitting the boat against fifteen Soviet submarines.
When setting the mission up, I tried to pick boats that the Soviets were believed to still be using in '94, but messed up as there are some Victor II types in the battle. No matter. Captain Numpty set about the battle with the intention to show the Ruskies how the new(at the time) Spearfish worked.
And that's the point of the battle - to demonstrate how the Spearfish works, how it's different to the Tigerfish, and why as a Captain or Commander, one must still adapt to the weapons you're carrying. The American Mark 48 ADCAP is a very effective weapon and, perhaps more importantly, I'm using to using it. I struggle with the Spearfish, especially in the closing minutes of this long engagement.
But anyhow. Grab a snack and a drink, as this battle took some time...
