4,966 [ARS] Helstrem Beta Testers 8,340 posts 9,620 battles Report post #2 Posted April 20, 2022 Subs aren’t even finalized yet. Super subs shouldn’t even be conceptualized until submarines are final AND have been in full release for some time, more than a year in my opinion, so that adjustments can be made on the base lines. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The 6"-gun-armed island camper. With controllable guns. I think any of the cruiser subs would end up being a disappointment in game (which they mostly were IRL). Too few guns to duke it out with anybody. (The Brit version did have 2x2 5.25s though). The sub is going to lose any gunfight unless the target is already almost dead. I assume their range would be pretty short (very limited gun directors, low to the water) but WG can do as they wish. They are more vulnerable to HE near misses (AFAIK) with relatively small HP pools so would be at a huge disadvantage. Plus just about everybody will drop what they are doing and shoot a spotted sub and they are vulnerable to ASW airstrikes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

32 ColossusRed Members 51 posts 5,077 battles Report post #8 Posted April 21, 2022 For the love of..... First, maybe they should finish the half-baked, not-quite-implemented, WW2-era, only-American-and-German subs that they are still "testing'. And look at adding WW2 subs to other nations first (Japan, UK and France off the top of my head). Second, Supership Subs will only infuriate the opposition to submarines overall considering how divisive they are now. And lastly, personally I would prefer Wargaming to look at new game modes (maybe something that subs fit into better) or improve what already exists in the game (like surface ship AA). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Three dive bombers. Air and Surface Radar.... And, a lot of AA weapons for a sub!

Kinda scary what capabilities WG would have to give T11 subs, which actually could approach the speeds and use the weapons they currently give T6 boats.

There was some fun with that because of her time being used to deploy Marine Raiders against the Japanese. Nautilus was commissioned in 1930, ancient compared to the 1941 Gato and 1943 Balao-class submarines. But if you read her history, her wartime service saw a lot of events. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Nautilus_(SS-168) She was one of the USN submarines deployed for the Battle of Midway. She found the Kido Butai and was trying to attack but she got spotted. She was being depth charged and run off. The Kido Butai kept on going and dispatched Kagero-class Destroyer Arashi to finish the job. After an extensive search Arashi could not find Nautilus and gave up, starting her trip to rejoin the fleet. However, at that time, bombers from the US Carriers were flying around. They flew to that area because that's where they estimated the Japanese fleet to be, but they weren't there. The pilots noticed a big white chevron in the seas: The wake left by Arashi was seen from high above and she was hauling a**. The Americans figured she was going somewhere important, i.e. the Carriers, following her course and make history: Shiratsuyu-class DD Yamakaze after being torpedoed by Nautilus. US Marines boarding Nautilus for a raid. She was there for the start of WWII for the US and survived it. Not an easy feat for any submarine force in WWII to make it through the full duration. Even the highly successful American submarine campaign against Japan still saw heavy losses with some of the worst casualty rates of the US armed forces.
