Dugong individual room features
The diagram does not visualize the ‘staircases’ clearly, however this should be clear without.
The electrical box wiring connections will be inspected after the basic overview
There are two main blind spots on the Barsuk, directly behind the engine blades and oxygen room, and directly infront of the airlock doors. There is 1 small blindspot near the armoury window, as for gun elevation cannot lower that far.
Default wiring in electrical
Bellow we find the default wiring in the electrical room junction boxes. Highlighted are key components that should be kept powered ideally.
Additionally, here we can see there electrical device positions within the sub – red lines represent separate submarine rooms. This image is taken from the status monitor aboard the submarine
Some thing to note
- Default acceleration speed is relatively slow.
- You will be swimming quite often inside the Barsuk – any engagement will often flood entire submarine, allowing you to repair your aquarium at leisure paces.
- Armory window is easily broken (its also a blindspot for turrets), causes waterfall flooding into the submarine.
- Electrical boxes are spread around the hull, making it somewhat inconvenient to repair.
- Stock Hull is weak to impact, crashing into walls at medium to high speeds will case high damage to area of impact.
- There is 1 only Fire extinguishers on Barsuk, between gunnery and reactor compartments.
- Depth charge available near reactor of submarine – should be used responsibly.
- Large ballasts, if breached, will force the Barsuk to sink easily, quickly and often.
Available Upgrades
And here are the costs for installing individual weapons.
