So, after a week of grinding, a week of resting and some few more battles, Ive managed to finally get the Soviet Lv39 submarine.

My first impressions: Not as good as the I-1 class, but not far off. She is only inferior in deck gun and slighly worse torps. Let me explain.


 * She can mount 2 new types of torps. These torps can do 5100 damage, which is really nice against BBs. One torp has a range of 350, the other 430. I'd recommend the long range torps simply for versatility. Compare to I-1, she is superior IMO.


 * She can have up to 60 of these torps. But for the high speed version, I chose to have only 52 torps. And in any case, she carries less torps than I-1, so she is inferior in this respect. Though not by much.


 * Her deck gun options are limited to just Lv1 guns, so she will have some difficulty engaging other subs on the surface. Though any sub on the surface in the heat of a battle is almost dead anyways.


 * Her speed with 52 torps is around 21.2 knots. Her turning is also quite good, on par with the I-1. But this isnt fully loaded: if so then I estimate her going around 18-19 knots. Still a decent agility. Only slighly worse than I-1

In short, she is quite a good sub with high speed, nice turning and great torps. As of now, this sub will be my second in command ship until I get better ships.

Next up for grinding: Italy's subs XD
