Golf-class Submarines

[WWII44]

Has any one encountered a Golf-class sub in either North Atlantic campaigns?

[The Inept European]

Not sure.

Wikipedia:

All Golf boats had left Soviet service by 1990, and have since been disposed of.

I have seen some kind of diesel missile boats but I think they were the short range kind, the old first generation cruise missile kind?

[It Wasn't Me]

It has a possibility of turning up in the default '68 campaign as part of the SSBN mission.

[The Inept European]

Yes it was on that mission I (think I) saw one.

I just for sure spotted a Golf in the 1968 SSN mission, which was my penultimate objective. What a majestic craft! But hey, it sank. In the final mission, I was tasked to sink SSGN's. The game sent me a Whiskey, a Foxtrot and the promised Juliet (no Romeo, though, wherefore art thou, Romeo?).

I doubt in a vanilla game you'd see either an SSN, SSGN, or SSBN without being tasked to destroy one, ie. find a random one in the wild as opposed to having printed orders in hand to seek and destroy one.

Lots of random SSN patrols but SSG, SSGN, SSBN or in the case of the Golf SSB, no those are all specific mission objectives, you won't see them outside of that, with the exception of the tied up Delta that's in one of the Soviet ports.

Gremika... That's where you'll find the tied up Delta...

Wish they could be sunk in port

The Delta in the Gremika missions can be sunk.

Also in all enemy ports, there are a few moored ships out of the lot that can be sunk...

I beleive about two or three of the ships in the enemy harbours are sinkable, but the majority of them, sadly, are just for show.

Missiles are useless against these ships but get in close, and torpedoes will do the trick.

The ships that can be sunk show up on radar, and can be "highlighted" with the periscope laser. The ones that are just for show, will not be visible on radar, and can't be targeted through the scope...

Manually guiding a torpedo in to kill the ships that are just for show will fail.
The torpedo will just go straight through them, like they are not there...

Yeah had that happen in a lot of chinese ports, Ive never got the delta's to show as targets so I guess Ill give that another go
