What can we infer form this video?

 

[Admiral_Franz_von_Hipper]

It is just a giant message to subscribe to his channel.

 

[renegadestatuz]

He keeps drawing so much attention to the fact that he wants no one to pay attention to him being on a sub that it almost seems like he's screaming at the viewer to "read between the lines". And he's not descrete about it either. There are also other historic ships out there in Cali that he could've done he video on as well, but why do it on a sub?

[LemonadeWarrior]

SUBMARINES!

[renegadestatuz]

SUBMARINES!

 

I'm guessing that if they add them, it'll be for the new co-op overhaul they're doing and not for pvp.

[Spooooooooooooooooooooon]

Well he did say to pay no attention...

[Triela50]

or it can be a massive troll vid

[renegadestatuz]

Yeah, enough times that it's about as subtle as him taking a baseball bat and trying to beat the hint into your head all while screaming "read between the lines!"

[ZombieFlanders]

hasent WG already said that subs would be added in a new PvP mode?

I think this is most likely

No. The last thing mentioned about subs was by Octavian when asked about them in a Q&A. He had a massive troll response to the question and said "never say never ;-)". But up until that, he and other devs have always said they do not "plan" on adding subs to the game. Never said no, just that they do not plan. And that was the generic response they always gave about the subject matter. But between Octavian's last statement about it and this, that they may have finally changed their "plan" or opinion on the matter. I just don't see subs in pvp though, more than likely in the new co-op overhaul though.

Yup.  Only way I could see subs being successfully implemented in this game would be as AI-controlled adversaries for PvE.

 

If done right, their inclusion could make convoy escort scenarios a hell of a lot more interesting, not to mention finally giving a purpose to those depth charges that are modeled on many ships.

[Pulptenks]

That Nozoup is behind Wargaming Magazine we seen on Reddit.

[YamatoA150]

Subs are likely for PvE at least.  They would probably be that trolltastic torpedo spammer launching 2 torps every few minutes from isolated corners of the map timed specifically to closely hit or hit a convoy escort if the team doesn't actually make the convoy stop moving.  And are only vulnerable to torps when submerged.

 

WB themselves that as the game changes, they may reconsider, but they still do not plan to have playable submarines for the foreseeable future.

Wouldnt it make sense then that the "new weapon" they keep hinting at could be depth charges to counter the subs?

Everyone is so excited about PvE content...

Well it's not like WG is interested in adding more variety to PvP battle types.

 

They haven't shown interest in asymmetric setups such as Aggressors vs Defenders; with one side having no base and the other having a base to defend.

 

And PvE rightfully has a few modes that cannot be done in PvP, such as Endless vs Wave mode, Escort/Convoy mode, or even Historic Naval battles.

[Snargfargle]

I've been on that sub. If you are ever in San Francisco, it's worth touring if you are interested in WWII-era warships.

[Sir_Orrin]

I'm subscribed to the theory that subs will come in a new co-op gamemode. I really reallyreally want a convoy mode. which I think might also be hinted at by the new Naval Legends videos about arctic convoys.

[_WaveRider_]

Subs, then the Brit DDs with depth charges. 

 

[awiggin]

It's called milking WG's all day suckers for some change on the side...

 

[DoomStomper]

Wouldnt it make sense then that the "new weapon" they keep hinting at could be depth charges to counter the subs?

 

Always a possibility, especially after the devs confirmed that ship-to-ship missiles were out of the question.  Perhaps even Hedgehog ASW mortars for high tier RN DDs. 

 

However, I'm betting that it will have something to do with the upcoming CV rework.  Maybe a choice between HE or AP bombs, the option to load USN fighters with HVAR rockets for strafing runs, or even the Fritz-X for KM bombers (per YamatoA150's recurring suggestion).  

 

Everyone is so excited about PvE content...

 

As a primarily PvP-er, I fail to see why that warrants a facepalm.

 

WG has stated on multiple occasions (most recently in the 'Plans for 2017' video) that a larger than expected percentage of the playerbase spends most of their time in co-op.  If they've determined that additional revenue could be gained by fleshing out that market's preferred content, more power to them.

 

There are a number of unique co-op scenarios that, while appealing to those wishing for something more challenging or historically immersive, would be a nightmare to balance for competitive play.  While such content would by no means cause me to abandon PvP, it could be a welcome break from the usual monotony.

[Dr_Richtofen]

 But in all honestly PvE might be interesting but how it would be done is.... well we will see.
