Everyone is undetected unless in 6km of each other. There is zero strategy involved anymore. Subs die fast, true, but only if there are 3 or 4 ships with air strikes on them. Go and try to kill a sub alone as DD, especially with those upcoming that are just as fast as and have torps bow and stern to torp you in the face no matter from which direction you try to hunt them down. 6v6 with CVs AND subs will be a pure crapshow. It already is as soon as CVs are in the game, add subs to this and you have a unplayable trash experience - even more so as the maps for ranked are crap as well, often way too huge for a 6v6 format. The maps are designed for 12v12 with BBs who have 20+ km range and not for a 6v6 nothing-is-spotted ranked. If you think it will be fine then good for you, but there is nothing to convince me otherwise. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Secondaries bbs still will be "ship to go" as it was on all tiers in last couple of seasons....and they all (or most) have airstikes and soon as one sub light other for 60+ seconds it will die doe to beein in range of everyting.....as you said....no flanking play, no farming noobs on wrong position..... also alot of most popular (KM) them have hydro so any kind of "shotguning" is dead....and they do not bring alot of EXP so saving star will be hard.....that is why i do not expect alot of subs in game after first couple of days. ranked are worst mode for subs in my opinion 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You are aware that hydro only detect them at 2km. The sub is already at your forehead with all his torps before your hydro spots him. And even then, he shotguns you and then dives, he'll be too close for your airstrike as it has a minimum distance to your ship where it can drop. Do you even play this game or do we talk about different games? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And shootguning is term (if not mistaken) used for stronger unguided torpedoes that can be fired from periscop of surface 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The sub was ranked first in the winning team. A 44% WR player. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ranked have different play style most time. Up close and personal. And in that scenario subs light each other's up with 4 minures 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But if it did what you say it is good play and teamwork in rqndoms. I know, still that was what happened. They weren't in division, but created crossfire from 3 different directions: BBs from one side (the only ones spotted) while sub and CV kept coming from different angles. Almost impossible to evade everything, with obvious consequences. 2 ore fa, WingedHussar_Adler ha scritto: Ranked have different play style most time. Up close and personal.
