Will you spend the Submarine tokens on actually getting the subs?

Depends on your viewpoint.

For WG's target 5% (if that's an accurate target) of the player base, the subs are the grand prize.

For everyone else, they're the booby prize.

Hence, why I took this approach:-

 

But you are compensated with FreeXP if you rebuy the sub with tokens. And I would rather take 70k FXP than useless green bonuses, I have too many of them.

Same here. I played it on PTS and it was decent. I hope she becomes permanent so I can grind these subs there.

 

@Seraphice did WG announced if Wolfpack is staying for future updates? Because I think she would be a nice addition but it's complicated given the random operation format. Being limited to subs makes her hard to integrate but a separate queue for subs could work imo. 

At the moment, no, there are no plans to have wolfpack stay after 0.11.9.

I can understand if it were put into rotation like other Operations, that Wolfpack would almost certainly not be as popular. However could I please trouble you to pass on the suggestion that it be left as an option for those who wish to create a division of submarines and play Wolfpack after 0.11.9.

So thats WGs plan to show Subs are not popular in ops but in coop/random? You lock the one sub operation behind the division wall and to spice it up people need to get the subs to even go in it  from the getgo… Oh my God

Havent tried them as much before. Is the German the most OP of the 2? And why?

longer dive capacity better concealment and longer sub radar

I thought I go for the US ones first because of the torps at both ends-thingy, just doing doughnuts on the bottom and full send it every half circle. But guessing I try the Germans first then.

T6 and T8 Germans have aft torps. Only the T10 has only bow torps.

Maybe only to get them to get (super) containers.. otherwise waste of space.

the US ones are best for anti sub combat so far and have the best homing but homing is useless on all but dds and subs

I picked up the "free" container for freeXP under the notion that % chances favored winning more freeXP but unfortunately this happened....

 

 

 

Well, to answer the OP's questions, I the factor which will dictate how I use these sub tokens will be which option is the most beneficial and hopefully you guys can work that out for me/others.

 

What do I mean? Well, maybe it makes more economic sense to get the subs with the tokens and then sell the subs for credits instead of just using the tokens to buy credits. What do you guys think of that idea?

 

Another thing. I haven't bothered with that T8 Salmon-sub yet BUT, I'll probably keep it for a couple of reasons along with any other sub I win or unlock via normal gameplay or ranked etc.

 

1. As outlined by a player above, getting the T10 sub will or at least should translate into getting a free SC.

 

2. Personally speaking I don't mind the concept of having subs in this game so long as they are implemented into modes that best suit them which imho is not the current random battles or ranked battles style offerings. As mentioned. if they were included included in Ops and if perhaps WG add more sub orientated PvE modes or dramatically change the direction they've taken with them. 

 

Now, how those modes or inclusions can be implemented in a way that WG make meaningful amounts of money from is beyond me and something they need to get thinking about.
