ORIGINAL: Przemcio231 You were there... WOW. i read somewhere that when you splah a sub its not that pleasent sound when it die's... Was it hard to track a Kilo? Polish Navy has one of those we also had number of Foxtrots but those were junk... i really miss that there is no WITP like game set out in the WWIII The only sub I ever heard implode was from a sonobuoy recording of the Soviet Yankee K-219 that sank after suffering a missile explosion near Bermuda. The sound of the implosion on reaching crush depth was far less dramatic than I thought it would be, possibly because several compartments had already flooded. Just a "pop, pop, pop" and that was it. Any diesel sub is difficult to track submerged on battery. The Kilo is a much more modern design and more stealthy than the Foxtrot or even the Tango. But the main factor is the skipper of the boat. If he knows what he is doing, he can make things difficult. If he doesn't, the quietest submarine in the world won't help him.
