I've made a thread about acoustic torpedoes and why it would be a bad idea, shame that they still went for it. I personally hope they could mimic Steel Ocean's subs since I understand WG wants to submarines to be user friendly as possible and they implemented them pretty well in that game. Really love subs sadly there are no real online games to play as one. I personally stopped playing World of Warships cause I'm only really interested in subs. I understand people's criticism about submarines and why it wouldn't fit into the game's balance without being too hard or punishing to play but thats really the point playing as a submarine and there is a niche for it, you're not expected to kill the entire enemy team with a submarine or be somesort of scout, subs should be a capital ship sinker and the popularity of BBs I honestly think with some good balancing they could fit without the whole acoustic torpedo non-sense.

Can we get a status update for subs, lot of fans still waiting for any new bit of news or information since it has been over 2 months since we got any news or update. Ya guys been under the surface for too long, bun intended.

I hope there would be more news about subs, the wait been quite long. Missed 3 tests, still no invite :x

Still no luck getting a sub test invite

So will there be another chance for us to get beta invites?

This is a very controversial change. So do all subs now have snorkels to run diesel engines at periscope depth? WG you can do better than this.

Hope they will post an update soon.

No luck getting an invite yet. Only 2 days left on the test fingers crossed.

Feel like getting invited to be part of this test is very slim. Personally not a very active player and stopped playing awhile for subs to come to the live server, my chances probably are close to none.

In a sub vs sub game, the first submarine who loses all oxygen loses since they can just hone the torpedo on the submarine and follow to periscope depth.

On the gamescon footage, the submarine had a very big hitbox while being at periscope depht since any HE splash did damage to it.

@Tanatoy is it possible for submarines to fight other submarines at deepwater depth? The articles mention torpedoes being able to hone other submarines on certain depths, or do submarines just currently spot each other at that depth, doing nothing else, maybe ram perhaps?

Shame my thread that discussed on the same topic got flooded.

For sure they can add those metal pipe decoys for RN ships as consumable. They basically were towed behind the ship. But honestly acoustic torpedoes seem pretty overkill against capital ships like BBs and Subs should rely their teammates more on killing DDs.

Also interesting observation I saw, it's impossible to get the double ping if the ship isn't broadsiding and showing it's stern for you, personally think it would be good idea that the player knows they get pinged by sonar so they have time to hide their stern so the sub cannot do maximum damage.
