Submarines seem like garbage!

what is this? these graceful silent killing machines were meant to hit from stealth... yet everytime i benture out near a pirate they blow the ♥♥♥♥ out of my subs no matter what type it is... the erobus...45 mins a shot?! WTF .... the war would be long over by the time i even reloaded!! as for the torpedo subs...they might as well be shooting rocks at ppl... 2 small pirate boats took ou t my damn sub in a few hits :/ this expansion seems like i just wasted cash i could have otherwise shoved up my (you know where) cause for what these subs cost versus what they can actually do is terrible :/ might as well send the crew out in a row boat with a broomstick taped on the back to mimic a mounted machine gun in the hopes of scaring ppl off :/

Use Submarines as advanced transport ships,Class Sysphus has 6 inventory slots ,making it superb at transporting stuff.As for battle well why not use some Aircrafts and ships instead of just Rocket ships that have no defense and need time to reload?

thanks for your reply luke.... im totally open to suggesitons... im pretty new to this game so im still learning... im assuming that despite diving subs cant really hide... seems everyone picks them up... are they even worth using in combat due to their large cost for operating or? and if i did use them in combat what would be a good squad as in say 2 aircraft 2 ships and a sub? the subs themselves vs surface targets seem pretty weak but im prolly doing sometihng wrong

Not really an expert on combat, but if you have trouble with it you could try to play a continous game on easy mode,it may sounds stupid but it's a great starting ground to learn about everything,and a bit about combat,which isn't really the main attraction of the game.
If you wanna multiplayer to have fun add me.

Subs depend on situations.
theres a trimaran, a cheap and basic sub. equipped with 2 40% upgrades, its the fastest ship alive.
theres a transporter sub with silence ability, useful for running around silently from enemies.
theres 2 missile launching very expensive to make subs that are basically to show off.
theres a deep sea hunter sub which has proper attack capabilities and useful only when 1v1 where enemy cant attack or 2v1 where the enemy can attack. you would be better off with 1 viper + 1 trade ship with some drone.

you want military might, go land + air.
you want show off, go subs.

thanks for that response are there any good sub tactics to be aware of?
