Really ? Everything i have seen states 'never any subs'. I don't think the maps or the gameplay would be any good for subs myself, slow, super easy to shoot slow targets, once spotted a sub would have sfa chance to evade, they would need to be super unrealistic to have a chance against the DD's and cruisers and constant spotting by aircraft.
All I have read are unfounded posts from players that don't understand how submarines operate. Some posters make the mistake to believe that their extended knowledge of WOT, make them specialist in ASW. They have a visceral fear that the subs will modify their high octane gameplay.
The speed of a target is irrelevant if it remains undetected, you only shoot at what you see. The dimension concerning depth and thermal layers is not unrealistic.
Once the subs will be introduced and played then posts addressing its viability will be founded.
As Raw Kriptonite mentioned it worked in "Battlestations".

Tier 7ish when uptiered and onwards is anything but high octane I have pretty much found it a snooze fest owing to the grind nature of the game and nearly all except the rushers not wanting to lose your ship lest you be burdened with a bill, and worse , sh&t stats.
Have you jumped into free view and checked out under the water ? There is none. I would imagine they would have to update the engine to include layers and such and like i said over realistically add speed to the subs to make them 'balanced' to fit the game play of WoWs.
With an Isokaze (or any tier4-6 DD) i can easily control a flank, dodge torps and incoming shells, hide behind a smokescreen and negate two or three battleships and a cruiser just by being there. Putting three plus ships to the bottom is a give in for a half decent player in every game at this tier in DD's. Throw a sub into the mix and he better be doing at least 20 plus knots under two layers with a boatload of stealth captain skills or that dude is dead meat if they give me depth charges on top of what i already have offensively.
Argh! The Phantom carrier and Cruiser......I am so glad I only got a few of those matches...definitely a beast when on the opposing side, even though you get 2 more ships than the Phantom side. Regretfully, never benefitted from a win against them. Thanks for sharing your great video Raw Kryptonite.
Good stuff for a rollout of their game. Now, if only they'd have at least a 3X event.... gotta finish my RU DD grind.
Also, probably dumb question, but is there a SimHQ team speak you guys are using in the video? I've shared a few games with other SIMHQer's and would love to communicate via headset rather than typing in chat.

We use the SimHQ TS server. You can either create a custom channel for the session or we use the 2nd MWO channel if we've come from playing that. I wish we could run the game with more than 3 players, but sometimes we have 2 groups going and just stay on the same TS channel, like we were doing in that video. It isn't too confusing with just a few people on.
We do the same with Armored Warfare. Join us anytime! We can have a few more people in AW, we run mostly PvE, but also some PvP.

Thanks for the invite. I recently re-installed and set up TS3 to fully enjoy communicating rather than typing. I was helped thru the process by Bohemond and we slogged it out a few times in the pub matches. It was a much better experience than typing and screaming at the monitor. Looking forward to more interactions with the SimHQ crews. Armored Warfare may be something I get more into post-retirement, but for now, the limited time I have not job hunting, will go to Wows.
Anyone else logging in and getting chat spam offering easy ranking or something? It's just started happening.All I can do is blacklist them I guess.Maybe report them to WG?

I haven't logged in a few weeks, but yes, I have gotten them from time to time. Unfortunately, some yahoo that learned the features of Windows and CTL-V...just do as you suggest. It seems to be the only available option currently, unless someone knows otherwise?
I got more today plus 1 I couldn't blacklist or even close.In fact I had to Ctrl/Alt/Del to close the game. Not sure if this is intentional or just a glitch but I left him a seasonal message to ponder over
I'm sort of surprised there's no Christmas special for exp, flags or other holiday goodness. I know it's not Christmas in the States yet, but certainly is in Asia......not even the release of their new Polish premium. Well, here's to hoping for something extraordinary soon.
UPDATE! 3X weekend and release of the new Polish Premium....woohoo! Gotta grab my sailing partner in crime, Bohemond and rack up some kills.

Got my first tier 9, Fletcher DD, hurts when you have a bad game! Amagi is also painful when she slips below the waves. The amount of new flags, missions and challenges are making it pretty easy to keep on top with credits though. Hope they get some Royal Navy out the door early into the year, i am nearly as far as i want to go in the game besides the Yamato and need some British sea power!
