History
In World War I Russian ASW weapons and technology were primitive and ineffective with no enemy submarines being sunk by the Russian Navy with depth charges. There were no sonars or any acoustic detection devices in the navy and no effective ASW doctrine.
No Soviet ship had sonar until 1941 and most of them did not receive any until the middle of the war. However, only 5% of the ships lost by the Soviet Navy were from submarine attacks and hence ASW efforts were not as important to the Soviet Navy as to other nations.
The BM-1 was the main light depth charge of the Soviet Navy in World War IIand the early Cold War, and could be deployed from a M-1 scoop rack.[1]
Media
Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.
