Actually it seems they will be

 

Going by the News Article.

 

They will only be Fast on the Surface. And heavily Reduced Speed when Diving. (Which is Realistic for all Submarines except the Really reaaaally Late War ones. Like XXI which was Faster when Submerged than when on the Surface)

 

Also. Running Full Speed underwater will cost Battery. So most of the Time it seems you will be forced to Run at 1/4 Speed Underwater if you dont want to Run out of Battery.

 

I think the best technique would be to run at full speed until reaching enemy BB and/or CV and then move at 1/4 speed to reload and sink them while remaining submerged

 

Then remains to see how quickly the battery is recharged and how much consumes a ping

they are slow like hell in underwater

I guess it will be faster in higher tiers.

And... if u get hit by any kind of shell, u will flood immediately till u sink, unless u surface.

 

Since neither DDs nor Light Cruiser start Flooding and Sink Immediately when I Overpenetrate them and cause Giant Holes below the Waterline.

I somehow doubt that will happen. :P

 

Of course I would be all in favor of this.

Then no more Cruisers like Smolensk would just give me Useless Overpens when I hit them from 14km away with my Grosser Kurfürst Guns.

And would Instead have massive Floodings and Sink :P

Just like most Ships in the Game. They will likely get a Speed Buff.

No, a half meter hole will NOT sink a DD or Cruiser - look at how many over-pens the ships in Taffy-3 took, some 18 inch. Ships have a thing called watertight compartments, along with bilge pumps and damage control teams for minor things like your G.K.'s over-pens.

[ImTryingButYouDontHelp]

Did you see the big mess that random battles are right now? Most of the people don't know the most basic mechanichs of the game….and you want to introduce subs? You must be joking. Many people will leave the game if you put them on the main server.

first off they will not be at tier 10 anytime soon, what mess?

[ArmasP]

Ah, good that they are bringing subs on a good time. Not that many new things lately...

 

But to be honest summer is coming. You can do stuff irl etc... So no money to be spent on this for a while.

 

Maybe its a good time to put this to cooldown. Come back in september and see how the smoke has cleared?

 

I think its going to be a quiet revenue summer for wg but  who knows maybe they attract a new flock to subs.

Erm Yeah

 

""Johnston was hit so many times that one survivor recalled "they couldn't patch holes fast enough to keep her afloat ""

 

Seems it Sunk ^^

 

And no. Actually the Majority of the Hits on Taffy 3 were the 15cm Secondary Armament.

 

 

You See Mate.

 

1.

I am Talking about Plunging Hits. Meaning the Shells Flies into the Ship High then Exits it in the Ships Belly.

That cause massive Flooding. And Generally cant be Plugged when the Shell Hitting you is BB Caliber.

2.

Watertight Compartments only Limit the Flooding. Funny enough. The Reason you have Watertight Compartments is actually because Military Knows that Pumps will not keep the Ship Afloat for long when a Major Flooding Occurs.

Watertight Compartments. Simply Limit the Flooding to that 1 Compartment. So that in the very likely scenario of the Flooding not being Stoppable by Damage Control. The Ship Stays Afloat.

But that only works if the Flooding is Limited to that Compartment and the Compartment has not been Compromised.

Now if as I said. A Ship is Hit by 3-5 Shells from GK. Then Chances are. That the Floodings are in Several different Compartments. And that the Compartments thanks to the Shells Flying through the whole Ship First have been Compromised.

 

 

And Finally.

Well. Smolensk has Damage Control in the Game :)

I just need to hit him a Second Time *gg*

Thats crazy talk. Everyone is inside across the world due to Coronavirus. Now is the absolute best time to draw more interest to the game. Public test server subs will do that. Live server subs will do that even better. Did you also just suggest people go outside during a pandemic?

If people do not know the base mechanics of the game, adding a new class will not make it any worse. They are already bad.

My view is that, the more classes you can play, it will be worse and worse.

i totally agree, and i am already prepared to uninstall the day subs will be added to random battles

but look at the funny side of this:

when subs will be added, they will make people so angry, that compared to it the carrier rework or the russian bias will look like minor problems

I agree that there will be bad Submarine players, but as i said, there are already many such players. If people prefer to play casually, without going deep into the mechanics of the game, thats their choice. Not everyone knows that one DD has a different playstyle to another, or that some torpedoes can only hit BB/CVs. Regardless of Submarines being in the game or not, this will not change. Submarines will not suddenly make it worse.

 

You are acting like Subs are the end of the world, when in the end you are just negative doomsayers that will always find something to complain about. I get that WG doesnt deserve all your trust, but if anyone is upset by the direction the game is going, they know where the door is. I cannot imagine sitting around to complain about a game i no longer find fun to play.

 

Submarines are coming. You can complain about it, or you can play the PTS, post feedback to improve the class balance, and maybe ultimately have a say in whether or not Submarines will be added to Random Battles. Doomsaying helps nobody, and just makes you look bad.
