When will the submarine be cancelled

[Macross_]

I don't like submarines very much. They destroy the game experience. When can they be cancelled?

[Shirakami_Kon]

If I understood everthing correctly, next update we get rid of them and we'll be able to enjoy the game again for two months. Keep in mind that they'll still come back after that though, but we'll have some window to enjoy playing without them in the game.

[AkerJack]

As stated above, we won't see them for few month, but they will return with more than likely buffed. We will never get rid of them...

Well PAN asian early access has to go through after all who would pay for bunch of smoke cruisers that get dumpstered and its obvious right away they will be made obsolete on arrival

[Camperdown]

WG has decided it will rather break the game than give up on subs. So we will have only a temporary reprieve.

[SmokinSerj]

Tbh, I'm more annoyed by the CVs than by the subs.

[Cyclops_]

Hell will freeze over before WeeGee give up on the idea of putting subs into the game.

Especially when they have no hydro against the sub.... Having low range the have to push into positions to be able to do anything. 

[Ronchabale]

So far submarines have been a "total success" in testing and the community loves them

Due to subs underperforming they are going to get some major buffs

So they would rather break the game MORE than give up on subs?

 

After they already broke it with the CV rework

The ongoing long term lack of game balance

The ongoing long term lack of new maps...

Money still flows in from us addicts, all they need/want is money…

[mdjmcnally]

Well they were clearly spot on that people love pressing G.    Even where no subs present on the enemy team then see people dropping depth charges.

Yes. They will try to make money on premium subs. If the game dies in the process that's collateral damage.

i dont see why they are so hated either, i see a sub its like having  a very weak far less annoying and negatively game impactng DD , obviously neither would be better but given the choice between a 4th dd or a sub ill take these subs anyday

Can you understand my despair that destroyers can't catch up with submarines? It's not easy to catch up. Before I press g, there are a lot of shells flying. I'm gone

[Realazio]

WG invested lots of time and money into subs...so its 100% they will become a permanent part of the game, same with superships, what they stated, its just a matter of when...they will balance them a bit more, but my guess is, mid 2022, or max late 2022 they will become full part of wows, with probably 2-3 lines at start and gradualy increasing like they are doing with eveything else. My guess its first batch its gonna be USA, German and Soviet subs, with the likes of brits, japanese sub coming later, with eventualy french, italian also coming. Thats probably a 2 year project alone

Nah, we still got CVs in the game, which are way more intrusive and gamebreaking. 

[_Lupastro_]

After many games with subs and CVs here's my final sentence.

Subs... Meh but I can accept them.

CVs.... They really ruin the game.....

I only use dept charges in games without subs.

it's not like they weren't warned !

what comes to mind is: "a fool and his money"  or in this case "a fool and his investment of time and money"

 

WG's strategy since 2017 and the product manager are driving WoT and WoWS into the ground

I am of more or less the same mind. Subs are slow, don't have much power in changing the course of the match and most of the time I see them get killed earlier rather than later during a match. Their only forte is that they can move unseen during a match, but that only makes them even less impactful during a match. 

 

DDs are way more of a threat to the enemy team. They got way more offensive power, far greater movement and positioning potential, way more tools to help the friendly team and be a nuiscense to the enemy team and overall a more impactful ship. The only thing they lack vs a sub is not going completely invisible.

 

Nah, when I see CVs in my match I damn them to hell and back. 

 

If I see subs in a match, I don't give it a second thought

[doerhoff_damian]

with the next patch submarines will no longer be a part of the game.

They will however return after 2 Months.

So if you want to test your German Battlecruisers and your rental Superships in a Sub-free enviroment. Now is the Time.
