Here, I explain how Cold Water is played, with the simple scenario "The Duel" where a 688 is pitted against a similar Soviet sub.

-----

Engagement 1

We made sure 1 decoy is loaded then entered the scenario, immediately go to silent running, and deployed towed array.

We tried sweeping the different depths, but we never got a contact, both above or below the layer. We accepted the failure, and disengaged. You can't win every engagement.

Engagement 2

We made sure 1 decoy is loaded, then entered the scenario, immediately go to silent running, and deployed towed array.

We reduced speed to 2 kt due to strong duct.

We got a contact to our southeast almost immediately. We kept listening. We finally got his heading as northeast, at distance of 12 km. Then he started heading north.

We turned east, so we can slip in behind him, to conduct a baffle attack.

We made sure he could not hear us, then fired a torpedo as we entered his baffles. The torpedo was guided to almost directly behind him, then pointed at where he would be as torpedo approached, and left on "passive seeker", so he would get no warning.

We then watched the torpedo go in from the virtual torpedo camera. There was no launch transients as our torpedo was a complete surprise coming in from its baffles.

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...
