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.

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.
Surface detectability range increased: 6 to 6.1km
- All other detectability ranges adjusted accordingly.

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.
