Torpedo platforms

[gunnyhighway1]

I noticed that due to the limited view and concealment factors, the game offers torpedoes appearing out of nowhere, stream broaching the surface, heading toward the target. They are launched by planes or ships. This type of surprises was one of the big  fear of the "NO,NO!" against the introduction of submarines.

 

 

So, when do we see submarines, with ASW ships in the middle of that gigantic ballet?...Destroyers are already equipped with ASW weapons.

 

Besides, the size of the maps will not be such an ordeal for slow moving submarines under water.

No subs because they are slow. How are you going to be useful when the fastest sub wouldn't be able to keep up with the majority of all current ships?

[ZombieFlanders]

we will see subs right after new posters start using the search function.

It has been said multiple times that there will be no subs in the game.

 

7 knots for most of them at this period when they are submerged, and lets see the slowest surface ship is the Langley at 14 knots.

And from what I have heard the Game Engine this game is built on cant handle the things that happen on the surface and have a 3D environment underwater for the subs to move around.

Then to be able to hunt subs you need teamwork and since this is an online multiplayer game for the most part we are missing one thing, Teamwork.

On a serious note. No... 

 

Submarines are a terrible idea for those reasons already listed with respect to their own performance. 

 

Also are you seriously telling me Destroyers and Light Cruisers in pub games will sub hunt to protect Battleships and Carriers? That is a joke good sir. The reality of the situation is that subs would sneak up behind BB and CV's and pop them with literally no defense since players in public game typically do not support each other or act in a fleet capacity.

Haven't you been paying attention?  People don't want Destroyers to be useful.  Why do you suppose they camp and wait for them to die, before they engage?

Ignorance generates fears.

 

And all I can read in post rejecting submarines is fear of the unknown!...

The Silent Hunter series focuses around submarine gameplay. However, from what I hear, one mission can take hours. That's unfeasible here. Navyfield 1 has submarines. Many claim that the addition of submarines ruined the whole game. Further proof of unfeasibility. Etc.

 

We're rejecting submarines not because we harbor "fear of the unknown," but because we know that they aren't going to work well. That being said, abandon thread, and to hell with submarines.

  If WG stopped nerfing DD's and I might care about helping again :\

I don't know what the Silent Hunter series is doing in your reasoning, based on what you hear but not on what you know.

 

 

 

So much energy spent trying to make a point with so much aggressivity all around the forum, punctuated with insult words, is certainly suspect to me.

 

 

Only unfounded fear generates such reaction. An Argument such as "Many claim that the addition of submarines ruined the whole game. Further proof of unfeasibility. Etc", does not prove that many know submarines and their hypothetical action on the dynamic of the game, it proves the irrational fear that submarines generate into the human psyche.

 

Submarine seems to be the Boogey man.

It is actually interesting to witness how fear turns logical minds.

Someone dredges up an original post from 2015 and comments on it in 2019.  

Some might call this behavior a form of necromancy.  ;-)

You bumped a thread from 2015.

Who'd have thought something might change in 4 years.

[gunnyhighway1]

Me!

[RyuuohD_NA]

>necro-ing an almost 4-year old thread

[gunnyhighway1]

And what about harping on the fact that I followed up 4 years later, is that so extraordinary for you?

I, at least, stick to my guns and know what I want and follow-up,  I am not a fade or the flavor of one day.

Look at persistence in the dictionary, maybe there is my picture to illustrate the definition.

[paradat]

There are way better 2015 threads on subs than this one.

[gunnyhighway1]

It symbolizes well the ignorance and the fear that the introduction of the submersible in WOW generates There is even a vid from the chieftain in that thread explaining how it will never happen,  that sums it up pretty well. Then all the remarks regarding the age of the thread and the fact that I bumped it, fear is rampant.
I find it an interesting thread not about technical details, but about fear.
