Any good Subs for solo play? (with bots.)

[Pride Lizard Pride Lizard]

Just the above statement! I've had some... frustrating times with the bots today, unfortunately, like "why wont you shoot the *♥♥♥♥♥♥♥* gun!" really hope they fix that.

I think most of them work pretty good but I always prefer the smaller subs (Dugong, Orca, Humpback) because they are more easy to maneuver inside. The larger subs are more difficult imo but they can be managed with bots. Having the priorities set to specific jobs really helps utilize the bots.

let me offer you my submarine. Shooting from any guns is available from the periscope in the captain's room, and from all guns - from the terminal in the armory. It is possible to instantly repair the boat if you are drowned deep, but fixfoam grenades should be recharged after.

This is the best submarine on workshop for singleplayer 6-7 sized crew but if you want to use vanilla submarine I wold say that Typhon 2 is the best I finished a whole game on Kastrull which is really powerfull but it's descent velocity is very low because ballast tanks are in middle of the ship.

I made the Palestar and the Palestar II for completing solo campaigns. I've found they work great with bots and are very manageable.

I did an incident test on Humpback and it's not great. Orca 2 is probably the best tier 2. Herja might also work if you want to go abyss hunting earlier, but the triple pulse laser will do just as good or even better job than railgun or other large weapons.

Not sure about tier 3s. Typhon 2 and Berilia should still be survivable. Kastrull has problems which can cause issues like the drone becoming unoperable due to damage. Remora and Winterhalter are probably even less bot friendly.

Thanks for the suggestions, I'll mostly just be using vanilla stuff for now as I wanna beat the game before I use any mods :x but it is appreciated it!

Currently I'm using the Herja because I thought "♥♥♥♥ it.", but since I'm here if I *were* to go abyss hunting is there anything I should do before hand? I mean, I already know how bad the latcher can be early on if you aren't prepared. But If I, theoretically, wanted to kill it, what should I do?

Suffer. Or learn electrical. Herja have 4 cannon platforms. I highly recommend you place pulse lasers or change railgun at least. And make a system to control them all from your navigation terminal (that's not mod or cheat. Just absolutely vanilla electrical scheme you could instal on your boat in-game). After that you will be able to fire all guns within sonar scan distance and latcher will be a problem no more. Let me show you:

It requires not too much components to be installed

It's difficult to be completely prepared on a medium-sized or smaller sub because they are quite susceptible to being tossed around by the largest monsters.

Tri-laser fuel for pulse lasers will make short work of anything. For other weapons you can look up either armor-penetrating or armor-ignoring weapons (certain explosives, high end railgun shells). Herja also has depth charge tube and the loader is placed conveniently next to the navigation terminal so decoy shells (and the nuclear variant) can be loaded and fired effortlessly if required.
