Greeks, cool that should be fun...

If you have ever heard the noise a group of Greek men make ever thought how loud one of their subs would be regardless of the fact that they are decent subs....

Con, Sonar: Loud contact to the east, singing, sounds like the Zorbos....and plates breaking....

Sonar, Con: UZO

Joking

There was a time, A Long Time Ago, while in the sub service, I heard of an urban myth (or Navy myth).

It went like this.

Many moons ago it seems, the USA leased/sold several venerable GUPPY boats to Turkey, and one of them, their first dive, they left the hatches open! :hmm:

Anyone else hear of this? Not casting dispersions here, just trying to dispell an old myth.

oh yeah sure,do you know that Turkey is one of the first submarine users in the world that starts in 1880's.Turkey,actually ottoman empire was using submarines when Greece had not heard the name of submarines.

You should better learn about history before insulting people.

i am sorry if i am mistaken,well everything can happen in the world,it could happen to Greece,Turkey and even USA.

Do you remember a nuclear submarine(Los Angeles Class)while surfacing ,hit a fishercraft killing tens of japanese students,that happened 1-2 years ago.There are lots of incidents like that,maybe the story would be true,i don't know,as you know more than 80 sailor are enlisted on the guppy class submarines and as you know Turkey and Greece are still pursuing mandatory conscription,your officers in the boat would be great but one of your 18 years old enlisted man would be so dumb to forget to close the hatch.

In conclusion,there is no perfect army,navy or airforce in the world that does not make mistake,the important thing is not arrogating such incidents to whole armed forces or a nation..

Hello Xenonguy,
I hope DW will have succes on the market so that we can have an add on with the new Type 214 sub equiped with AIP.You are right it would be cool to have some scenarios with O.H. Perry vs Type 214. But in the begining we can start with a Kilo vs O.H. Perry.Hope to have DW for Cristmas.

yeah,still can't understand,U series are the best selling submarines in the world,that is widely used in Brazil to Greece,it would be better to include U 209 or series rather than Kilo.

Its because the Kilo is an OPFOR platform (the only other OPFOR platform in DW is the Akula while NATO has several others) while the Type 209 is generally found in NATO or Friendly nations fleets. Also the Kilo is operated by nations like Iran, China and India, which are more likely to be conflict areas than Brazil, or Greece (well maybe not Greece).

Also the 209 is quite old compared to the Kilo; Late 70�s IIRC vs. still being built.

Also the 209 can't shake a stick at the combat capablitys of the Kilo.

Yes Kilo is the best OPFOR diesel sub but the new German Type 212 and 214 is now the best diesel sub in service( Germany, Italy and Greece use them).In MP games we often see US vs US or Russian vs Russian subs.I think the type 212 or type 214 equiped with DM2A4 or Black Shark torpedoes will have good chances against SSNs.It has new sonar and it's equiped with TA.
