Torpedo parameters changed
- Note that all submarine torpedoes 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: 210 to 180 units
- Dive Capacity recharge rate increased: 0.8 to 1.5 units/s
- Maximum Dive and Ascent speed reduced.
- Acceleration parameters improved. The ship now reaches full engine power sooner, with settings similar to destroyers.

Ballistics
Armor Model
Overview
The Soviet Navy's first truly ocean-going submarines were based on a German design developed by a front company in the Netherlands for Spain. For their size, the boats had quite powerful armament, including four bow and two stern torpedo tubes. A trial series of three units (IX series) was commissioned from 1936 through 1938. One of the submarines was sunk during the Winter War; the rest, including S-1, were lost in the first days after Germany invaded the U.S.S.R. in June 1941.
