Excellent, thank you for your replies :)

When can we expect to see subs in the tech trees also?

So when will subs be in random battles?

Ok, thank you for your replies! :)

So there will be at least one more test, is what you're saying?

Do you have some sort of rough idea of when we could expect to see submarines on the main servers? Not asking for a definite date, could we expect them to arrive in 2021?

I enjoyed playing the subs, I've been longing to play them since they were first announced. I tried a few playstyles over the weekend: Aggressive: Tried going gung-ho into the enemy, it didn't work out too well, manage to get off a round of torps and then die. Passive: Sitting at the back with the cruisers or just behind the destroyers, firing off torps and maintaining concealment, protecting against enemy subs. This worked great, was getting 100k+ damage doing this. Stealthy: Rush the point and dive to 60m when within 6km of the enemy, go underneath all of them and then operate behind enemy lines. This is great if a CV spots for you and you stay in the concealment, I prioritized the enemy CV doing this and could usually pick them off within the early stage of the match. I enjoyed this but it didn't have as much action, not as much damage output but I did win more games. I like where subs fit within the meta, they are not just a DD with homing torpedos, they can be a nuisance and they can still be destroyed if positioned incorrectly or spotted easily. The dive time being limited means diving is to be used only when needed. I get that a submarine should be underwater, if thats the case then it should be easier to spot them underwater, which would then make it pointless to be underwater if you're just going to be spotted 24/7. I think it's in a good place and can't wait to play it live.

Is subs happening? if so, wheeeeeeennnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn??????????
