[GUESS] Stockensprotz Players 123 posts Report post #2 Posted October 29, 2021 When they are out of "testing" and become an actual researchable Tech-Tree-Line: "You can now play and research subs! Pay this amount of money to avoid playing and researching subs by buying this special sub to play subs! Also: Gambleboxes for everyone!" 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[R7S] lovelacebeer Players 4,158 posts 25,226 battles Report post #3 Posted October 29, 2021 It will be as soon as subs are out of testing and WG think they have decided what they want submarines should be like in game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Typhoon and other Balistic mislile subs dont usually launch from surface but from 20m or so IIRC… On topic - some german and us boats are more likely also that I-401 is a sure thing sooner or later… Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seriously, though. The subs are an unseen threat. I know what they mean because I've experienced the introduction of the wheelies in WoT. They split the community right down the middle. Some loved them and kept playing, the rest of us...not so much. If we get premium subs in this game, as they currently are implemented, with the same features and the same game modes. It's the fifth compartment flooding as far as I'm considered, the mathematical certainty. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When they do release a premium sub hopefully it will be like the EBR's as far as there is only one premium EBR which I haven't seen show up in the shop.

[C1DFL] togMOR [C1DFL] Beta Tester 3,604 posts 18,947 battles Report post #10 Posted October 29, 2021 There are some files named U-4501 lingering in the client for quite some time now. Historically that number was designated to an ordered (but never built) Type XXVI sub with Walter propulsion system ... Would be TX premium material for sure ;) 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah. But that still leaves the tech tree EBR's which will be enough to create plenty of havoc. Same with subs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[BYOB] Aragathor Players 7,047 posts 32,322 battles Report post #12 Posted October 29, 2021 We can be almost sure WG will try to monetize U-96 of Das Boot fame. Even without a license agreement, they can use the ship name and emblems etc. This is a simple copy-past of U-69. There will be push to appease Polish players by having a ship like ORP Orzel available for hard cash. They will gobble it up. And the ship's story is a gimme. They will announce the first premiums shortly before the final release. And then pump them out like crazy. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Camperdown Players 2,501 posts 17,258 battles Report post #17 Posted October 29, 2021 My guess would be that we will have premium subs in 2 or 3 updates. WG needs champagne and caviar comrade! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As quick as WG can, premium cvs came out very quickly after the rework, even though the rework was and still is broken. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[ALONE] Smeggo Modder 2,485 posts 15,344 battles Report post #20 Posted October 29, 2021 Some Premium-ships have been hinted, and the russian (tech-tree and premium) submarines were already modeled two years ago (beware, that might be a rumour) - I guess there are way more in the pipeline by now. (Halloween-skinned) Gato (Tier 8?) and U-4501(Tier X) were already playable in the Halloween-event some years ago: There was also a model of I-400 (IJN-Submarine-CV) and a Shchuka for april's fools (that crashed the game-client), but these were removed. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
