Due to having 4 bow torpedo tubes, shotgun attacks with homing torpedoes can deal respectable damage, and can kill low health cruisers and destroyers with her maximum alpha strike of 31,332 damage. Shotgunning is the act of closing distance to a target (around 2-3km) while undetected and launching torpedoes at close range, often heavily damaging or destroying low-health ships. While her homing torpedoes are good at long range, their fast speed and short arming distance also allow them to be used at close ranges against small and agile targets, especially when shotgunning. They have a range of 10km, deal a maximum of 7,833 damage, travel very fast at 86 knots, and have a 31.5% chance of flooding. Double pings last for 50 seconds, which allows ample time for homing torpedoes to arrive.Ĭachalot’s homing torpedoes allow for long range torpedo attacks. The velocity is good at 600 m/s, and has a 10 km range with a 7.5s reload time. Cachalot has no other ways of increasing her time underwater besides surfacing, which is not always possible to do safely.Ĭachalot’s sonar is a helpful tool for dealing effective damage. At 170 units, her Dive Capacity allows her to stay underwater for almost 3 minutes. Careful positioning is vital in order to not be stuck in bad situations where her speed will not bail her out.Ĭachalot’s Dive Capacity recharge and depletion rate are standard for her tier, at 1 unit/second each. This poor underwater speed means she is not fast enough to outrun destroyers, and her hull can be vulnerable to depth charges. While her surface speed is average, her underwater speed is slow. She has a 27 knot top speed on the surface, and a 13 knot underwater speed. Conversely, her 6.4km concealment is quite high for a submarine, and means many destroyers in her matchmaking spread will be able to spot her in return. Her 500m turning radius and 4.9-second rudder shift are both good, which aid in dodging depth charges. Players should be careful not to be spotted on the surface for extended periods of time, as she will suffer heavy damage.Ĭachalot’s maneuverability helps her survive in battle. Her armor is nonexistent, with her entire hull covered in 16mm. Ĭachalot’s survivability is decent, with an HP pool of 14,000. As an introductory submarine, she is only equipped with homing torpedoes, and has access to Enhanced Rudder Gears. Cachalot is the Tier VI tech tree submarine in the American submarine branch.
