here is a game where i was permashooting on an isolated bb (gk). 44k dmg and finished 2nd to last. i sailed straight into middle and shot him all game. ive honestly no idea wtf the homing torps was doing some of the time since he wasnt dcping my pings, felt like they just circled him sometimes, guess a slow bb can dodge them aswell. the gk basicly just ignored me and used his dcp to stop my floods. and he almost got as much xp as i got, pretty dumb... if your playing a ship with 0 utility as the sub has, the avg dmg numbers must be higher. ive seen several players with over 100 sub battles and they avg 20k dmg on t10 subs. either adjust the sonar so pings last longer and reveals the ships for allies for spotting (more utility) or adjust other factors to increase avg dmg. surface speed and air capacity increase is a start. it took half the game just to sail into middle, pretty dumb aswell. at the moment there is 0 reason to play subs when you deal the lowest avg dmg out of all the ships types while having 0 utility making it hard to gain xp. imo they should be able to punish ships that are out of position super hard and struggle vs ships that use teamplay. if they had more shipspeed and torps hit harder they would become a natural enemy to CVs which also fits very thematicly and in line with Wargamings "realism" policy :)

@YabbaCoe @MrConway @Crysantos This cv just drove straight into enemy in the middle of the map to suicide at the start of the game. Several people in the chat said he always does this and they have reported him several times earlier. He have also been reported several times on https://wows-karma.com/ This straight up breaks the EULA which states fair play.. Why haven't this been adressed yet? This individual have received massive amounts of reports and he have been doing this for several months. Reference game: 28.11.2021 battle start: 02:24

- dbl pings enemy and they just dc when they see torps close - bigger turn radius than a cv - no air so i spend more time above water than under - no aa - no utility for team - can't cap underwater - very slow descend and ascend so can't use it to juke planes - way too slow so majority of time is just spent sailing around doing nothing - pings reveal your bearing so essentially your position - can't see anything under water unless you activate consume this feels more clunky to play than a cv. as soon as your spotted you get dunked by everything thats close since everyone has a sub counter. damage numbers should back this up. seen several players with over 100 sub battles and yet their avg dmg is around 20k in a t10 which is totally terrible when you have 0 utility. summary of experince by playing subs: felt like I was sailing a blind refrigerator. if you wanna put subs in the game at least make them useful. at this current state it's just a joke. edit: your also just spampinging with your sonar when something is in reach. sonar reveal needs to be longer and show entire target also this should reveal target for your team and give you spotting. dcp really shouldn't remove sonar pings, it's just the dumbest thing ever and doesn't make any sense.

Nothing personal against the guy and I appreciate the effort people take to help test new ships. However doesn't the feedback and testresults become kinda skewed when you have people testing playing the game and ship very unoptimal. I know other games have pretty high requirements in terms of gameskill. I'm not expecting unicums to test new ships but a 50% wr should be a bare minimum. Felt like this guy was more interested in flying around Microsoft Fly Simulator style than actually playing the game. Thoughts?

Thanks for the responses and explinations. That makes more sense. Shoutout to the work the testers do :) Would be interesting to read more about the testprocess.

How about a campaign with missions to unlock a t10? Similar to what they have in WoT. It's more entertaining than regrinding the ships you already grinded :)
