CV?Pch, when you will be chasing SUB in DD like this You will be permanently spotted by her and this means for DD ... :)

i mean more like if you even survive that long with dd for todo that, good cv will spot you and kill you before you are able todo that

[NobleRipper]

Looking forward to getting that extra coal. I wonder if my usual luck will be in evidence and the subs will be in the last bundle (or perhaps that might be an advantage this time)?

[Unfortunate_Son]

I tip my hat to those willing to play this mode. You are brave captains.

[The_White_Whale]

Looking forward to watching this mess unfold, it's nice to be an outside observer and I have almost finished Chernobyl so will need a new disaster series to follow.

I think that the concept of torpedoing ships from depth cannot apply to WW2 subs, it will be highly unrealistic and anyway not easy to achieve.Most successful torpedoing was from the surface and that not against war ships but merchant ships.

But we have to wait and see how subs will work. I cant wait ....  

[CaiusJuliusBrutus]

No more wasted time... no thx.

[Han951753]

hmm,mow we are literally getting a invisible DD which can avoid 80% of dmg and having a guided trop, very nice WOWS, you people made a another major step to the death of your game.

[POIfection]

It makes me sad to think subs will end up in Random Battles.

Nah then Lads tha cn tek thi Tokens n thi RNG n stick em weer sun dunt shine, I'm brassed off wi never endin  in loot boxes n bundles 

[Lord_Monty64]

Looked . seems a lot of work gone into it. but if you think I will play .you have another think cameing. you destroyed carriers. you screw with setting of different warships all the time. you introduce over pend cruisers that never stop fireing and kill a battleship in a minute. now you bring in over pen subs which will be altered again and again . when will you learn. to Stop; messing it about. ask us average people what we think . instead of the moaners. Came to our clan and ask the guy's that play it for fun. Not stat kings

The part about how to fight submarines is an usual "misconception" by WG devs.

 

What they "forgot" to mention is that any DD that tries to actively hunt subs will be instantly NUKED by CV or radared by 4 ships on higher tiers. 

 

IMO subs definitely will break the rock-scissor-paper balance of WoWs where each class, apart CV, has a measure to counteract another. 

The "good" part about CV imbalance is that many ships are able to limit CV action by effective AA. But in contrary subs offer no viable measure to fight them. What they are in fact, especially in higher tiers is like a Shimakaze that camps A-line and sends 20 km torps all the time, but with homing ping mechanics. GL with that crap.

I really dont understand the logic of having to rely on RNG to start playing with Subs - im not fan of subs on the game but i wouldn't mind leveling my Dallas and blow some underwater fish but for someone that would like to hop in a sub and play he can wait even 3-4 days for his RNG to hit jackpot and start playing.

 

You could just credit the subs and put some easy mission to play either sub or surface ship and collect some coal/flag or waht ever you wanted to give us for our misery playing with subs

 

But no lets troll them again with RNG

Maybe because if they were available to all at the start you'd just get games of 12v12 subs.... Doing it this way does limit the number of subs so at least there should be a slightly better balance in classes. Although I doubt we see many bb's or anything else in that can't drop death charges, which is a shame because as current WG seems to have ignored the fact that classes that counter subs are heavily countered by everything else in the game already once spotted.

 

It's not like you have to grind anything and you get free coal.

In 2 words...... No Thanks

[Hopeless_Guppy]

Ha ha, sub skippers, friends of CV skippers for the hate

 

I may have a go with these but to me the look very complicated, all this double pinging and stuff, I can see myself getting very frustrated very quickly, seems to me the subs can be so very easily detected by all and everything, I suppose the idea is just sail through the caps and hunt the big boats right?

I had a silly idea that the game mode would start with renting or buying a Sub, being able to go to training room and learn to play the damned thing and then go to some sort of battle mode access would have to be limited something like scenario battles due large number's wanting a go to start with but I forgot something didn't I 

[it3llig3nc3]

Well I have been missing out a lot about subs and catching up now.

Were there any word as how CV planes can interact with subs? (rocket, bomb, torp) - and also will there be planes with depth charges to choose? 

Not only on CVs but would be fun to swap out a cruiser spotter plane to a cruiser ASW plane... :)

And here I thought I'd actually get to play subs on the 27th. Turns out it's behind more RNG lootbox nonsense. I know RNGsus is a fictional comedic entity, but this company's dedication to tying random drops into every aspect of the game is downright cult-like. Remember when you could do mission chains to grind out event ships instead of having to farm lootboxes every day of every week and hope you won't get **** drops out of them?

[LinusMudrocket]

Been waiting a long time to have a bash at PvP subs and now they're finally here. Albeit temporarily, but still, they're here! They just gotta go through a more extensive and wider test in their own game mode so it doesn't upset random battles and then after that who knows?

 

What an exciting time to be alive!

 

Edit:

What a terrible idea to have Subs awarded randomly over a period of days. Some of us have already had to wait actual years for this, whhhhyyyy draw it out even more.

[Zlovenia1]

Imagine they added SWEDISH "pan - european" submarines (tier 6) ... ammm...  hahaha

Bundle

So the new game mode launches and we get to have a lottery each day to see if we get any of the subs at all?

My guess is that this was done to increase the population of ships that are not subs (the XP mission is also indicative of that).

Which ships would be the best picks here anyway?

 

I don't get it, just fill up the empty slots with bots and let everybody play what they want to play.

There are alredy too many BOTS in this game. GLad they want to see real "stupid human" player touch here ...

The original answer to that was, that they want first implement subs, who are easier to design, since the IJN subs are more specific. Sub cruisers with planes

To be fair, that was only two (or was it three) classes. The IJN had plenty of more conventional subs that would be far less problematic to implement.

I was never a fan of the guided stuff. Nor of the random bundles.

I wonder if the espresso machine at the WG HQ has a chance of 25% to drop extra sugar and 35% chance to drop extra milk, just to remind their employees of how important and crucial a role RNG plays in our world.

 

Just stop with those random bundles and let everybody play whatever they want to play. We got bots for doing the chores that humans can't be bothered to do, just like Kara and Markus in Detroid

Perhaps I will give it a go, but those random bundles kinda put me off tbh.

And I am certainly not even gonna bother trying out a BB in tier 6.

I want to play the submarines or perhaps some tier 6 premium I got laying around.

 

We will see.
