Consumables

Extinguishes fires, removes instances of flooding, and repairs damaged modules. Prevents enemy acoustic torpedoes from homing.

Highlights the positions of ships and submarines on the surface or at periscope depth that are beyond spotting range. Ship positions are ascertained at the moment you activate the consumable.

Detects submarines at maximum and periscope depths.
K-1 Change History
- Nerftorpedo launcher reload time43 → 47 s
- Nerfalternative torpedo range13.5 → 11.5 km
Detectability range by sea increased: 7.7 to 8.0km
- All other detectability ranges adjusted accordingly

- bonus to main battery shell damage3.2 → 1.97 %
up to 6% at max stacks
- bonus to squadron bomb damage and airstrike bomb damage3.2 → 1.97 %
up to 6% at max stacks
Sonar parameters changed - Researchable sonar
- Nerfreload time6 → 15 s
- Nerfrange10 → 9 km
- Buffping velocity600 → 800 m/s
Torpedo parameters changed · Researchable Acoustic torpedoes
- Nerfrange10 → 9 km
- Nerfarming distance270 → 400 m

Torpedo parameters changed · Researchable Alternative torpedoes
- Nerfarming distance270 → 400 m
- Speed increased: 72 to 75 knots
- Buffdamage14,600 → 16,800
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
Surface detectability range increased: 6.1 to 6.3km
- All other detectability ranges adjusted accordingly
Submarine Surveillance consumable parameters changed
- Buffaction time30 → 40 s
- Nerfcooldown time60 → 90 s

- Increases maximum torpedo damage by 20%.
- Reduced torpedo arming distance by 10%.
- Bufftorpedo tube reload time55 → 48 s

Researchable acoustic homing torpedoes
- Buffdistance at which torpedoes stop homing on pinged enemy submarines240 → 200 m
Researchable torpedoes
- Buffmaximum damage10,800 → 11,767
Changed the method and parameters of the bomber squadron’s attack: Bombs are now dropped during level flight, as with Louisiana. The dispersion ellipse has also been changed to become more similar to Louisiana’s.
- The change will make the use of these ships’ bombers easier and more efficient.
- Buffping velocity500 → 600 m/s
- number of stern torpedo tubes loaders1 → 2
Changed settings of Submarine surveillance consumable

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.
