ROKS Jang Yeong-sil — Submarine Review

ROKS Jang Yeong-sil Overview

The seas just got a serious upgrade with the arrival of the ROKS Jang Yeong-sil, the first-ever South Korean submarine to enter Modern Warships — and it's already proving itself as one of the strongest free additions in the game. This vessel blends modern engineering, heavy durability, and flexible weapon options into a package that feels premium despite costing absolutely nothing. 🇰🇷⚓

Durability & Survivability

Starting with its core stats, the ROKS Jang Yeong-sil comes armored with an impressive 409,500 durability, giving it the toughness needed to survive brutal mid- and late-game fights. It cruises at 22.7 knots, offering steady mobility without sacrificing stability. With 3.9 maneuverability, it handles like a classic full-size attack submarine — predictable, smooth, and reliable under pressure. Its 9.6 km view range is surprisingly solid for a free unit, letting you spot threats earlier and plan smarter engagements. 💪

Weapon Layout & Loadout Options

The weapon layout is where this submarine really shines. You get two SLBM/ASM slots, perfect for loading up Trident II to deliver crushing long-range strikes. For the dedicated ASM section, MCDN is the best free pick — consistent, strong, and costs nothing. But if you want something more advanced, IDAS is a beast: a missile that can target aircraft while you remain fully underwater, giving this submarine a tactical edge few others can match. 🎯

Combat Performance

Its three torpedo slots round out the build beautifully. Mark 45 Astor, AKYA, or Type 83 (best for F2P) all pair perfectly, depending on your playstyle. Whether you're going for long-range missile strikes or classic torpedo rushes, this submarine adapts to your strategy. The combination of high durability, solid speed, and flexible weapons makes it a force to be reckoned with in ranked and casual matches alike. ⚡
