They will probably not come in 2017, but likely at a later date. One alternative considered is having submarines as bots. Looks like submarines are back on the map as a possible addition to the game as player-controlled, or perhaps bot-controlled, boats. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I mean, unless your playing a DD or they're on the surface, i can imagine Submarines being a pretty tough foe to deal with while submerged. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sorry, I don't go to that site for reliable info, or even go to that site period. I'd rather get mine from a WarGaming Reddit, the Client Portal, WoWS Facebook, etc.. You know, an actual WarGaming/WoWS source. That's just me though, anything else is a toss up...

I never doubted the eventual addition of Submarines to the game, it was simply a matter of time. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

36 Decidis Members 159 posts 5,159 battles Report post #9 Posted September 20, 2016 On one hand most dd's and a few CL's have depth charges rendered already on the ship. On the other hand didn't WW2 subs only travel 3-6kts while submerged? And only fire a spread of 4 or 5 torps? I mean, could you imagine playing Silent Hunter 3 or 4 against ships that were as manueverable as WGs? I just don't see it being viable... then again it is an arcade game Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

2,562 [SYN] Kapitan_Wuff Members 8,292 posts 14,496 battles Report post #11 Posted September 20, 2016 I don't like the idea of subs, I don't see how it won't complete change the game into something else (I like the game now..mostly) Maybe as bots in PvE, cause I think PvE needs some spicing up..but does that mean we are getting depth charges too? Trolling for subs doesn't sound fun. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
7 [NTAI] ShimakazeCunnyOOOUAH Members 69 posts 6,460 battles Report post #12 Posted September 20, 2016 How the Community would respond if Subs were added: BB PLAYERS: OMG wthINVISIBLE BOAT KILLS ME EVERY TIM. BUFF BB AGAIN GIVE RADAR . CA/CL PLAYERS: K DD PLAYERS: I go FEST I CAN DODGE and drop depth charges now. CV PLAYERS: WHY ARE WE GETTING PUNISHED FOR PLAYING CV. GIVE RADAR. Im pretty sure with the addition of subs WG would in my opinion have to almost completely re work the game as they would have to implement ways to kill submersed subs. And Im still very sure subs will never make it into the game. WG likes to troll. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

71 [BBP] the_majestic_eagle Members 501 posts 12,932 battles Report post #23 Posted September 20, 2016 (edited) only if the sub was AI controlled and was like an objective in a game-mode, allow me to explain: one team defends sub/ sub squad, other attacks it. subs submerge for long periods of time and will randomly pop up on map (surfacing) where it will be vulnerable for a min or two, then submerges once more, rinse/ repeat until either one team is destroyed or the subs are eliminated...subs don't fire and are merely moving targets/ objectives either way WG plz DO NOT give subs to players, WAY too many issues with allowing them to be player controlled Edited September 20, 2016 by the_majestic_eagle 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
