Need tactical help with the mission "Ambush"? Can't win the duel against a NATO SSN? Picking the right sub with the right weapons and utilize your advantages to the fullest is the key to success. Watch me taking a Victor II and and go up against the quietest NATO sub.

"Ambush" is the third single mission where you are playing for the Red Team (Soviet side). The issue was raised that Victor III was a bit too... modern. So, this time, we're picking a Victor II. Its default loadout is:

4 x TEST-71M wire-guided dual-purpose torp
4 x 65-76 long-range heavy wake-homing anti-surface torp
2 x "Vjuga-65" anti-sub missile torpedoes
4 x MG-74 Korund II mobile decoys
6 x SET-65 III anti-surface torpedoes
4 x 53-65K anti-surface wake-homing torpedoes

Our primary anti-sub weapons would be the TEST-71Ms, and the Vjuga-65s. Everything else is useless against submarines.

We loaded the 2 Vjuga-65s into the 650 tubes. Of the 4 remaining tubes, we're loading 1 Korund decoy, and 3 TEST-71M.

We enter the mission. We'll stay slow and quiet for now; contact is probably to our east. We turned north. When a minute or two passed with no contact, we decided to go active. When we got a contact, we turned off active, launched a decoy, 2 TEST-71 in a pincer, then a Vjuga-65. Then we dove for test depth at 15 kt (so we can keep the wires to TEST-71 intact).

The Vjuga-65 did not come close to acquiring the target, as we turned northwest after we heard a launch transient. Indeed, a Mk 48 came in a bit later, but it was more than 2 km behind us and did not acquire us.

We continued to guide our 2 TEST-71s and we got one hit. Then Narwhal got some brilliant maneuvering and managed to avoid the other torpedo for a long while. We had launched another TEST-71 but the other torpedo got the Narwhal before the third torpedo arrived.

Mission accomplished.

There were many different factors discussed, from how to position your submarine, to how to read sensor panels. How to set activation points with torpedo, and how to dogleg. How to conduct baffle attacks and how to consider approach angles to optimize sensors. How to locate enemies...
