Getting alerts in The Bjarkhov Bomb

[Lareine]

I've been trying extremely hard to get the Silent Assassin rating on The Bjarkhov Bomb level but I keep falling short by getting alerts when I blow up the sub. I try to time it that a forth guard gets taken out so they don't alert when they see the bodies and the guards standing in front of the barracks run towards the explosion but stop before getting there. You'd think that would be enough to stop them from finding the bodies but there's ANOTHER guard that patrols around the shipping containers by the barracks that come running too. I'm not sure if he sees the bodies from afar or if it's a delayed reaction to the explosion but unlike the others, he actually runs all the way to the sub dock and sees the bodies. I'm guessing I get an alert each body he sees so if he sees three bodies, I get three alerts. If I don't blow up the forth guard, he sees the two bodies and that's still too much for me to get a SA rating. So what is the solution here? I'm getting alerts by doing the objectives to finish the level and I can't actually seem to avoid them. I guess I could knock out that one guard that actually makes it to the bodies beforehand, blow up the sub and then drag the bodies away before he wakes up but that seems so much work. Is there any easy trick to this?

you need to blow the sub up on the places it is marked, or else they will be alerted!

Yeah, I tried it again and for some reason this time, that one problem guard wasn't alerted and stayed on his patrol. It's funny when you ask for help and the problem just resolves itself.

Bad luck trying "Suit Only" cause it's not gonna happen.

[Nostaforta]

Well you can actually sneak in a minecart typa thing, but there are 2 guards guarding the sub. and that's somewhere at the entrance, so yeah, you're right XD

More accurately bad luck avoiding killing someone other then the target and getting silent assassin. Whether you take clothes from the soldier or the civilian in the tunnel under the airfield, the soldier must die otherwise he will somehow alert everyone and you'll be shot even if you changed into another outfit by then. Oh and a little birdie will apparently tell the guards where you are at.

You have to let the 3rd guard who is patrolling besides the submarine get near to the submarine then go in the tunnel and blow the submarine then run as fast as you can to the plane

I have the same problem. I silently garrotte Fabian and the commander, plant charges, and blow up the sub. Only to get the "guards found a body" alarm TWICE on the way back. And SA went *****
I just don't know if I want to repeat the whole mission again because of this. I play on "pro".

Hi, just dropped in to let anyone reading this know about the issue and how to solve it.

You need to blow up the submarine, yes, but you have to time it too.
There are 2 idle guards and 1 patrolling guard very near the submarine. All 3 of them will be dead but these deaths won't count for your rating. There is another guard who you have to kill as well.
[The devs didn't do a good job making this obvious].
There is another patrolling guard who patrols and in a loop meets near the 2 submarine stationary guards. When that patrolling guard comes near the other 2 stationary guards, blow up the sub and all 4 of them will die. Otherwise, the 4th guard won't die and will hear the blast, approach the dead bodies and ring the alarm.

So, out of the 4 near the sub, 3 will always die, but the 4th one, will need to be near the 2 stationary guards and be in close proximity of the sub to be dead from the blast. This will prevent dead bodies from being found and will prevent an alert.

There will be other guards that will hear the blast and approach the sub but weirdly enough, they won't trigger the alarm.
