Except they did use hydrophones and they did work such as the British ASDIC developed in 1917 and put into production in 1922. Now with the development of Sonar both passive and active it was a considerable improvement over ASDIC. I personally have never encountered any reference to use of the thermal layer in submarine warfare during the period from WW1 -WW2 ( Cold War sure) although I would be very curious to read if you have any sources you would recommend regarding the world wars.

I’m honestly amazed this discussion can go on for so long yet again. CVs are a much hated class for obvious reasons, and whilst I personally loath their presence in game I save my reports for incompetent or verbally abusive players. Although they can be frequently found in CVs, I for one get a lot of my reports from CV players who either accuse me of cheating for killing them or for being hard to kill ( I mean how dare I not meekly submit and die). I also love the theme developing where certain individuals give the impression you don’t get reported for playing other infamous ships eg Kamikaze or Belfast. Also playing CV alone isn’t guaranteed to get you reported although playing CV badly is very likely to result in being reported.

I think it’s called Zipangu, and it is a beautiful port.

That is actually a handy little feature that it tells you.

Didn’t WG deliberately nerf overlapping AA because teams were working together ( or clustering depending on your interpretation) for mutual defence.

So many things frustrated me before such as: - when almost all your team lemming trains to one flank and they can be held off by just 2 or 3 enemy ships. - people who switch flanks at the start of the battle. - full health BBs who cower behind islands and only come out once it’s too late to have any impact and seem to disintegrate as they sail broadside. However CVs and Subs or especially battles with both present are by far my most unpleasant experience in this game, and frustrated me no end.

Sounds fair, and if WG ever add odd tier subs we can have this for tier 1

Surely tier 4 would be things like HMS Holland 1, although true hopefully they would be considerably less irritating at that tier.

Didn’t the rental period just reset so probably it’s a case that those few who like WGs abomination of submarine warfare are busy regrinding for them. Enjoy the peace while it lasts and before the upcoming buffs.

I only do resets with lines I enjoy playing and even then only when the double RB points are available, I don’t particularly mind it just I only bother if there is a ship I really want at the end of it.

I wouldn’t honestly place too much faith on the idea being in a clan guarantees anything about a players ability. There can any number of reasons why a person chooses to leave a clan and not all clans have entry requirements.

Being reported for being hard to kill is sadly nothing new I collect reports like crazy from CV players when I’m in the HMS Hood and her AA really isn’t anything to write home about even with the AA consumable.

I do hope at least such people get temporary bans from playing I certainly know they don’t get permanent bans. Still it’s worth submitting support tickets the in game report feature is worthless. I would however suggest OP delete the pictures showing the name of the individual in question to avoid getting punished under the forums making and shaming policy.

Easy solution division with a friend/ clan mate in a CV and work together to have fun with the enemy CV.

You clearly found reference to the British 271 radar which could detect a periscope out to 1km, it was replaced by the 276 ( destroyer) and 277 (capital ship) versions in 1943 which could easily detect periscopes out to 5km.

Although I hope she will be coal, the fact she’s such an unusual ship makes me think she will be RB.

As has been suggested it’s best to use the auto pilot and it will eventually get you unstuck. If you have the replay you could upload it to WOWS replays and then pop the link on the bugs section of the forum so WG can’t feign ignorance of that shoal. Sadly though it’s just another consequence of the utter ineptitude of WG with their beloved submarine project and I seriously doubt these issues will be resolved any time soon.

It would be nice to have the choice at least between the legends or the current external style camera.

I had one the day before yesterday asking how satisfied was I with the battle I just had.

I got about 6 mega containers and got 3 containers of 20 camo each and 3 containers of 50 flags. I wasn’t expecting anything good so fine by me

I’m actually a bit surprised I was expecting them to release the Black C (coal) but yeh this is probably easier for them.

Also slow for me too.

I might actually get her, but not for a very good reason. Repulse is by far the more interesting ship for me but as I am pretty much done with this game, I might as well use up the doubloons I have left over just for the hell of it.

The question is how will WG react to this current iteration of testing, will they buff submarines to preposterous levels to get the desired popularity ( my cynical nature means I expect so), or will they accept them as they are and just shove them into tech trees to meet some internal target date. The whole submarine project is sadly a good example of all that is wrong with WG, they have failed utterly to take into account how they have designed the game and how submarines function within the base mechanics. The result is they created something so unlike submarines they are just an appalling project.

Perhaps a mix of French nationalism and masochist tendencies might compel some people to get her but she does look distinctly underwhelming.
