*Please Note i Mean 1930-1946 Era Subs.*
Ok So i Loved the Silent Thunder April Fools Joke but what if they took Subs Like the
Sargo Class American Subs,
Asorted U-Boats,
and the O, P And R Class Subs From the UK

And Formed Submarine Warfare From them.
The Submarines would join in Normal Boat Battles but this gives Subchasers there role.
Plus this Means you Couldent Just Stand Still Camping From the Other Side of the Map.
I Mean Normal Sub like the ones Above. I Dont mean Special subs like the M1 or the I-400.
If they Add Subs in the Naval Tech Tree or in there Own Tree ill Be Happy.
Just So we Can Play With Subs Again.

The sub mechanics where ♥♥♥♥. I would not want to see them again with the same simple controls. Make them on par with Silent Hunter/SSN/688, etc.

[Cyberstorm64]

Nice job mentioning 688, I think the reason that subs arent added is because you cant really have a sub battle in 15 minutes. Some seneros on 688 took hours to compleate (please excuse my horrendious spelling)

[ulzgoroth]

Yeah, subs would do nothing to prevent ships from 'staying still camping on the other side of the map'. Because they couldn't cross the map submerged before the match was over. And if you're making the attack run on the surface, a destroyer is better.

[Eftwyrd]

what weapons do you think subs would be using to prevent 'camping'? destroyers carry torpedoes too and they have the range to hit from spawn to spawn if someone was stupid enough not to be varying speed or course atall. if its the long range firefights you are against what about subs do you think would motivate people to get even closer to threats? simple fact is many of the ships we have ingame hunted subs of that era, not the other way around, subs were ambush hunters completely unsuited to participate in fleet engagements

You are absolutely correct and I almost added that in. I have all the good sub games going back to the 1980's.

i want my yasen back

[un.Casual]

They would only work if naval was turned into a ec mode

[Zalzany]

♥♥♥♥ just do them Steal Ocean style, where you get 3 depths surface, mid, and deep. Deep you can't shoot move slower but harder to detect. I liekd that set up. Issue is they were so slow in WW2 under water, that DDs could hunt them well and with DDs moving at real speed, well it feels slow as hell in game can't imagine what it would feel like in a WW2 sub when a destoryer feels likes a brick and i know a sub manuvers under water even worse.

Note the Ones From the April Fools Joke Battles Took About 20 minutes and the max time for matches is 23 miniutes.
2 When on the Surface Submarines from WW2 are as quick as gunboats.
Your Thinking of when there Submerged.

The Type VII U-boat, the German Sub Workhorse speeded at 20mph Surfaced.
I Dont Expect to see subs submerging at the start and never coming back up.
I Expect them to Speed Torwards battle but when the combat seems to be near they can dive.
The Type VII U-boat went 8mph underwater so it kinda shows its better to be surfaced so you can speed to battle.
Then Once combat is near you dive.

And Also Us Subs Like the Tambor-class Salmon-class or Uk Subs like the Odin-class or Grampus-class All Move at Similar Speeds to the Type VII U-boat.
They Wouldent Be as Slow as you think as long as you only dive once the battle gets intense.

Plus the Deck guns could defend whilse you were on the surface

And then you get hit with a few rounds, your pressure hull is compromised, and diving becomes a one-way operation.

so probably cheap repair costs (looks pleadingly at gaijin)

Yea The Repairs have to be at Maximum Under 1000 for the WW2 Subs

[EpicFrostchaserSWF]

Maybe just maybe more for the Korean War and Vietnam Subs
