The unpopular, yet nessesary topic, and solution...

[Submarine_M1]

Soooo..... I was wondering cuz in FB,  I noticed that a minority of people wanted the cancer ships to happen.... And wargaming wanted to earn money,  so this is just a thought.... 

[Unabletony]

Can't happen, and it'll be too low (words are not with me today. Game wouldn't be like Tanks or WoWs where there's a whole ton of ships that are different

[dionkraft]

The way I see it - Subs will only be introduced when an external competitor makes it more popular in their own game design and play tactics.  AS with anything else - competition changes things good and bad and changes the status quo.   As always..the future is promising..

[Submarine_M1]

I would understand that,  but I figured that at least a crossout - like game MIGHT be a better idea,  since it is creative and competitive,  as this would be based on class,  and the "power level" dictates the mm of the said vessel,  based on the weight,  part count,  etc....

you'd think people would learn by now, WG has stated THERE WILL NEVER BE SUBS, they just wont work 

 

[ExploratorOne]

Still don't know why we would want subs, what would we do with them in the game?  (I have read all of the threads over the last year.)  For instance, it takes forever to get across a map in a fast DD with Speed Boost.  A submerged sub would be a bit faster than a quarter-speed USN BB.  On the surface, it would be a quarter-speed DD with one or two (small) guns and fixed torps.  Not sure what I would do with one in the game.  Seaview and SeaQuest are one thing, WWI/WWII subs are a whole different matter (fiction vs reality).

Why are all your poll options basically "Yes"?

I do agree with you,  but some are STILL insisted on it,  so I figured on a ( unlikely)  solution... 

[Dictonary]

Only in another game. None in this game.!However seeing how online subsims are doing, there is no chance.

Well then. 

[Wowzery]

Honestly, if you really wanted a good sub game, it really should be done with modern subs.  Yes, subs were important in WW1 and 2, but it wasn't until the cold war that subs really became interesting.

Covered already by another game. And more.

[BladedPheonix]

My bet is that it would sink faster than WOWP did......

 

 

still, if WG were to add a game that had Pt boats, subs and other smaller craft. it could have potential. but they'd have to be very careful. The key issue is most people when they think of naval combat, they think of BBs, CL/CA, CVS and DDS, the main actors to say that partook in war and would prefere playing/seeing those ships over others.

It's pretty obvious the guy thinks subs are cancer. It's also obvious you didn't really read his post in the first place.

[MidnightShamalan]

the only way i would accept subs in this game would be as PVE ships only, for specific scenario missions.

You call them cancer ships, but with your handle, I don't think your hearts in it.

 

Good to see you, Midnight. Seems like a while since I've seen you post.

Except that that video is two years out of date. End of last year ish wargaming eased up and said they were looking into maybe ways to add them, starting as a NPC thing only like the operations, if not possibly an ability to use them. The amount of demand changed their tune, and if they are willing to create an affront and abomination version of GZ to shoehorn it in to tier 8 where it negates all reasoning for ships to have been implemented as they were, like Saipan, that I will raise hell over especially with them saying pre-1940 aircraft are somehow the same level as late war fighters from both sides, they will MAKE subs happen.
