 I wasn't monitoring everything WG says, so you could also enlighten me and provide some source of that. Preferably something that wasn't said 10 years ago.

Oh sweet summer child....there is a video in which a Weegee person( i don't recall exaclty his status) quite infamously says that subs dont belong to the game and those killed off another, also naval game.

Yes i am sure it was a "working game", before the CV rework, after that less working, and after subs even less "working". Diverity is NOT a strenght, it is a way for WG to mess up the balance even more. Subs is another class that mess with CE of all ships, and do not have any place in a game of Surface naval combat.

Next time I throw up I must point out the 'diversity'.

It was never surface only? CVs exist at least since 2017 (that's when I've started playing, I'm too lazy to check when they were first added). And as for subs, I distinctly remember them first popping up sometime in 2018-2019 on a Halloween event so it was obvious already back then that subs WILL be added.

Why does the year matter? Are we not talking about the same game any more, or at least what's left of it after years of incompetent tampering?

Well it was okay to say some particular words 100 years ago but now it's a borderline crime in some countries that can get you fired and your life ruined. See what I mean?

How has anything he said changed? Small, practically invisible unless you get into hydro (which doesnt work even lol) with devastating firepower. For the sake of GAMEPLAY, they choose not to implement them. We have DDs for the scouting stealth role, and a class that outspots the scout is just BS.

Unless the game hasn't fundamentally changed ( and didn't) what is the counterargument? I mean other than "oh i wan it now!"

Nope. Beside everybody and their mother agrees that subs, in their own mode, would be fun and a great addition to the game. Except here we are...

Aight aight, daddy promised to be sweet. Point is, times change, game's changing, what seemed ridiculous or unrealistic 10 years ago now turns out to be fun and engaging. Like 6 years ago having 457 guns on a T10 battleships was considered to be the main selling point of that ship. Now 406 (or smaller) guns on T10 BBs are considered to be a massive drawback that needs to be compensated by other gimmicks.

That's blatantly false. The world and our understanding of it have changed magnitude orders from 100 years.

That's again blatantly false. You may enjoy praying on defenseless targets, but that doesn't mean that the target also enjoys it.

Let's maintain a modicum of honesty, ok? 

 

Besides you still didn't answered my facts:) ( not that you actually could)

Are you for real? What is fun and engaging about subs? The worst thing i see in every discussion, is people trying to make an argument with "times change" what the actual F*** do that have to do with introducing a class that DOES NOT fit the gameplay, is toxic, etc etc? Imagine Coca Cola start putting milk in their soda, people doesnt like it and the stupid argument from defenders of the new "soda" is "times change, the soda change"

Perhaps daddy could be kind enough to point out exactly in which way has gameplay changed so significantly that it turned the subs from an unacceptable proposition from a gameplay point of view to a match made in heaven?

I mean if played WoWs back in 2015 I probably could tell you exactly what's changed. But since 2017 - mandatory overmatch, loads of battlecruisers, CV rework... Idk check the patches.

Where do you position yourselves if you start on the flank where the sub is? By guessing he is there, and start kiting titing from the start?

And what does those things have to do with subs suddently getting acceptable, even though they werent implemented for gameplay reasons before? Overmatch and battlecruisers? CV rework?

That's your facts? Lolz.... again blatantly false coz there are ships who can't discover ( aka  see) a sub until its too late.

 

Com' on that's the best you got?? LMAO.....

 Again, false. The fundamentals of the game, as laid down in that video, haven't changed.

 

The ONLY thing have changed is Wegge becoming a HELLUVA LOT greedier

Yes? And thats good, getting people away from randoms is that your argument? Or, should they listen to the audience and not introduce something that wasnt wanted in the first place? They could introduce a mode for you and other sub-enjoyers vs bots. If i want to play subs, i play UBOAT full realism settings with manual TDC, and i do that quite often. But they dont fit in this game at all

Diversity is our strength.

 

It certainly can be, if handled correctly. And it most definitely can be a great strength.

 

However, much like mixing too many colors of paint together, it can end up being nothing more than a sludge. Which is what we have here.

 

It's all about balance. CVs hiding behind islands, spewing endless clouds of planes which can't be reduced by deplaning is not balance.

 

If your ship is threatening a CV, then these planes become more and more dangerous, focusing you, travelling shorter distances to drop on you. That's not balance. 

 

Subs hiding all battle beyond your ships reach, and which can't be spotted, only to then smash your ship with a volley of homing torpedoes with no counter is not balance. 

 

DDs should be able to overcome subs easily. They should be given more, not less, tools to kill them.

 

They need Hedgehog & Squid launchers with ranges of 1.5 - 2kms to deal with them, in addition to depth charges. 

 

Every other ship type in the game has its strengths and weaknesses, which, if exploited, can either win hands down or lead to their immediate sinking. 

 

But CVs and subs don't. Their weakness are there, but they aren't exploitable unless under very specific conditions. Which is one of the reasons that they are so unbalanced.

Comrade....of course they are imbalanced coz that's exactly what Weegee wants. The don't want honesty, they want dishonesty and ...some other things. Coz, that's what they think it sells.

 

Ergo I treat them the same way as they treat us. Worthy of contempt and ridicule. It is what it is.

Yes... but what has changed in terms of how subs would fit now better in the game. I don't see any relevant changes occurring which leads me to suspect the subs don't fit any better now than in 2015.
