{{Quote|"So much pressure!"|Akula}}

Heavily armed submarines that are as terrifying as a shark! Seriously, "Akula" (Акула) means "Shark" in Russian. These Akula Subs are capable of not being detected on enemy radar while being submerged, so they make excellent reconnaissance units for naval fights. Upon emerging, they are able to destroy most sea-based targets in a short amount of time. Their special ability is to launch two torpedoes dead-ahead which travel indefinitely until they find a target, dealing heavy damage to anything in contact. Be wary about having your own or a fellow allies' unit or structure in the direct path of the Ultratorpedoes, for they deal damage to anything in the way, friend or foe.  

Akulas are great for hit-and-run guerrilla combat operations. Launch a few double torpedoes towards an enemy naval base and then run away. Stealth on radar makes it easier to escape, but Akulas are not the fastest units around so beware. The only drawback about the Akula is that it can only attack structures and other naval units (except for the Sea-Wing & Yari Mini Sub) while it is not submerged. Making it an easy target for enemy aircraft and other naval units to attack it. They are pretty vulnerable to Terror Drones too, so be observant over your Akulas, comrade!
