I just wish wg would be a bit more transparent, I literally have no idea if anyone on eu got the invite, when is the next test session, or even when the invites should be due if you get accepted, sl at least you'd know if you're in or not!

 

Just saying. But Youtube has quite a few Videos about Submarine Testserver.

So at least someone apparently got Access.

well, there are a lot of videos from CCs- all of whom got direct access outside the normal selection procedure. 

Otherwise- not so much. You could even argue that most likely among those that are not generally known as CCs, there will be a good number of Supertesters or community contributors for non-enlish speaking audience, rendering them largely unknown. 

I think there may in total be twenty actual players who got an invite lol. 

My issue with this is though, why would WG announce a submarine Beta test when you don't actually invite your players to test? 
With the CV test i got unlucky and only got to test after a while, but it was completely clear that others were testing in the mean time. Here thats not the case at all. Whats going on? 

Edit: 
Btw, in total the search term "wows submarine" yields less than 50 videos from actual submarine testing. Staggeringly low amount IMO, especially since that means not even all CCs bothered to put a video out there.

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.

I wait email too long time... :)

 

[Old_Codger]

I'm still waiting and hoping to get the invite email so please guys

active players have a next-to 0% chance as well. 

 

The thing is they have a very small cap of players, which is by en large taken already by supertesters, WG staff and community contributors. Next to no normal players.

What a well fitting meme! :D

[zwartewolf1]

Got one today !!! I hope you all get one also. Gonna be a great time to test this subs and i hope they gonna come quick to the game it self

I've given up waiting for an Invite. Subs really interested me when they were first revealed but after watching CC's video's on it, the less I feel that I actually want to play them. I think it's because that we know full well that there will be changes made to them for the next test. But without having played the previous ones, you'll have no frame of reference as to whether the changes that have been made are good or bad.

I am in fact, a normal player, and i got an invite on Friday.

I am also a EU_Player.

 

Considering there are youtube videos out already, there seems to be no NDA?

There is a big button in the mail saying "how do i participare" linknig to this news page: https://worldofwarships.eu/en/news/public-test/submarines-beta-test/?emst=qFXhnuN4w9_498_1630493_15
And here it sais:

 

How long will the Beta Test last?

Round 1 of the Beta Test runs between September 20–September 24.

Round 2 of the Beta Test runs between October 3–October 8. We have plans for Round 3 and, if necessary, subsequent rounds of testing. More details of subsequent sessions will be made available at a later date.

At what time will be Beta Test servers be available?

The server will be available during the following prime time only: 12:00 (UTC)–20:00 (UTC). This way, we can get the maximum number of real players together to reduce the number of bots in battles.

Sorry, but

what you want to test if you don't understand (you can't read) simple text =))

[Keldow]

Got my email and been playing it for the last couple hours so far so good!  

 

But my air supply seems to go down super super fast... feel like my crew are breathing far too much lol

[Elektroboot]

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

[zwartewolf1]

I have played the test and it is good.!!The only thing you can't get a camo on it and modifying is also not possible. When the subs is surface the speed is good buth in persicoop dept and full dept is speed a little to slow.The hull is to weak for HP or AP shells from ships a little stronger will be welcome i think.For the rest I LOVE IT the subs. Maybye a map or 2 for only subs ???

Not always because when they think he is moving you have chance to escape . I have try this serval times and let say 7 on 10 chance to survive , but when you have a bad day then ........... is it boemmmmm and bye bye . It is like i say it depence in witch situ you in . When you have a lot around you its better to go crush dept and stay there  and when they hunt you go max dept or crush dept and chance direction .

If I would see, that a Sub is not moving, I just would drop all my DCs on him? ^^

 

But that's why I think we need Silent running - subs gets completly dark, even for sonar pings of the enemy, but only when the Sub is at 9 knots. Also the Sub loses all kinds of spotting
