Torpedo parameters changed
- Like we already discussed in our previous publication, all submarine torpedoes will deal reduced damage within the first few kilometers traveled. For the first 2.9km, they will only deal 10% damage, while from 2.9km to 3km, their damage will scale up to 100% linearly, avoiding scenarios where a single-meter difference could result in drastically different damage.
- Dive Capacity reduced: 250 to 210 units
- Dive Capacity recharge rate increased: 0.8 to 1.5 units/s
- Underwater speed reduced: 18 to 16 knots
- Nerfmaximum dive and ascent speed2.9 → 2.4 m/s
- Acceleration parameters improved. The ship now reaches full engine power sooner, with settings similar to destroyers

Overview
A large submarine designed for joint operations with surface ships, long-distance raids, and minelaying missions (K-class, XIV series). She was armed with 10 torpedo tubes and had a relatively high surface speed. The lead submarine, K-1, operated in Northern waters during World War II, and several German ships were sunk by her mines. The submarine herself disappeared without a trace in 1943.
