Dangerous Waters - To Kill a Kilo - Part II  Part I Here


This is a continuation of my previous post. A battle between my Los Angeles III class submarine against two Iranian Kilo class diesel submarines.



Quick recap: I located one of the Kilo submarines and fired two Mk 48s at him. A loud explosion was heard. But a few minutes later, I was pinged from the same direction of my target. That was enough to make me lose my marbles and two additional ADCAPs just in the direction of the ping



Although I love the ADCAPs, they give away my bearing for every enemy sonar that is paying attention. So, I get out of my firing position with a trail of countermeasures.



And I change course, at flank speed away from the ping. Just in case there is an enemy torpedo coming my way.



Anxiously waiting for my countermeasures to be reloaded, an explosion in the bearing of the ping is heard. That must be a Kilo.



At this point of the scenario, I didn't know if I destroyed one or two of the Iranian Kilos. Contact Sierra04 was 14 minutes old (I lost track of it) and I could not get it back into the sonar.  Caution was still on order. Note torpedo 0017, still in the water, seemingly not tracking anything.
