Overview
The Barracuda runs submerged and is invisible to everything except sonar. Its torpedoes hit surface ships very hard, and nothing without sonar can even return fire.
How to use
Slip a few submarines into the enemy's shipping lane and sink landing craft and frigates as they pass. Against a fleet without a Destroyer this is free damage. Once you see an Orca, pull back or focus it down first: it carries sonar and torpedoes of its own. Submarines cannot attack land or air targets at all.
Counters
Destroyers and other submarines, the only things that can see and torpedo it. It counters Frigates, Landing Craft, Missile Boats and even Battleships.
