Eh, they need testing tbh, if not done right they could be very op or very useless.

they used to be pretty bad from what i heard
basically destroyers had to just follow subs 3 times then automatically kill them
the subs though were pretty damn good to the point of meta braking since hiding behind an island and HE shelling was a good way for a sub to make your boat a submarine

well a game called steel ocean or somethign already implemented subs quite well, and wows is just a copy of that from what ive seen ,so why cant they release it ? the other game died already haha

its abit annoying tbh, i lo0ve this game, but the talking about submarines for 5 years now and nothing coming is getting tiresome.

What are you talking about? Subs were only declared a few months ago. 5 years? Is that your age?

steel ocean is a copy of wows
wows release date September 17, 2015

steel ocean November 12, 2015
2 months which means steel ocean was likely made to cash in on wows

played subs in Steel Ocean ......and wows should just grab that mechanic now SO is dead it worked pretty well..but in reality subs are really hard to retrofit into a full battle scenario without badly upsetting someone....been there in Navyfield as well and same problems....frankly I would start with sub duelling then subs and destroyers and maybe then introduce subs into random once the skills to counter them have been absorbed....

as for which came first..doesnt really matter but I think Steel Ocean was around in beta before WOWS........WOWS just released first..without subs!!

I really enjoyed the subs during the Halloween events - the gameplay was fun and actually worked nicely. Issue is plainly fitting the 5th ship type into the game without breaking something balance wise.

Oh sorry, you wanted us to stop talking about subs ;)

Nah, it hasn't been long. They had them in an event maybe 1.5 or 2 years ago (I didn't catch said event.) For a while though, WG said they were never doing subs. That's part of why some people are very upset about the news that they're now officially coming.

[StormhawkV]

People aren't upset because subs are coming to WoWs even though WG said this will never happen. They are upset because of the way WG is implementing and balancing them. They could be great in their own gamemode just like CVs should have gotten their own gamemode.

Subs had two iterations on the testserver and both were utter crab. The first one was completely useless as subs had no way to fight other subs and all their potential roles could be fulfilled better by the other classes.

The second iteration was insanely broken with homing torpedos oneshotting every ship in range. DDs died because of their low HP pools and cruisers and BBs got taken down with torpedo citadel hits. The only class that had a chance against them were CVs because of rocketplanes.

The issue here is not WG testing new stuff, it's the fact that they deemed these two iterations testworthy. People don't have faith in them for a reason.
