Sub Guide?

[RhinoZherous]

Hello!
I just getting over the Basics and have sunk a few Boats so far. But there is something that makes me feel uncomfortable... I have a lot of knowledge regarding WWII Subs (coming from Silent Hunter and general interest in history) but I found that I am a pretty noob when it comes to the boats in the cold war era.

So far I found that the Los Angeles class is my favorite, but when I detect a russian boat I have no clue if it is a real enemy or if it is an easy target...

Do you have a good comparison or a guide for me? I didnt have found good YT vids so far. How do you learned the Cold War subs?

Thank you!

Check out a guy called Jive Turkey on You Tube... in the early days he had some good tutorials on sonar classification, TMA, weapons, and torpedo evasion, along with a lot of other useful stuff.

A quick link:

Also, the manual of the game is a good place to start. It's fairly straight forward, and if you use it whilst going through the training missions, you'll get the hang of the basics in no time.

Thank you very much!
I already watched a lot from Jive Turkey, the white board series is awesome!

But maybe there is something more specific about the types of submarines?

If general knowledge is what you're after, then Wiki is the obvious starting point.
If you're looking for other, more in-depth information, books such as "U.S. Submarines Since 1945: An Illustrated Design History" (Norman Friedman) would be a good place to start.

In depth information is always what I seek for :) Thank you very much, will check out the book!
