[@Tabledar]

@@abyssalreclass You know what Destroyers can't do? Ignore radar. Or pass within 2.1km of any ship without fear of detection. Or be basically immune to aircraft carriers and aircraft spotting. Or have their torpedoes home in on targets with a ping that's up 10 times more often than the one thing that can clear it. Or go and solo a handful of enemy ships in their own spawn in open water. The best part is, the enemies don't even have to be incompetent for a submarine to smash their teeth in with impunity.

[@ris3-xi918]

Ok someone tell me what that Bourgone could have done to counterplay this sub? Like he was in his spawn with his team and a sub just sailed right into his spawn with no idea where he is and no way to spot him. Even the CV cant spot him and he gets torpped point blank and killed in like 10 seconds. No way to dodge, no way to run away, nothing and WG thinks this is fine?

[@veritas4887]

Once he saw the ping, Burger needs to turn out right away with the help of damacon. Homing torpedoes once sent will guarantee miss if their lock on is lost, even if you sail in a straight line. As for normal torpedoes, if they hit, he can stop being French. If the the Bourgogne doesn’t have damacon because he extinguished that 1 fire, he deserves to die. That’s all I will say on that. As for afterwards, it’s the completely their sub’s fault that balao just goes dilly dallying about.

@@veritas4887 Ah yes, BBs deserve instant death if they DCP a fire. Peak brain activity. 🧠

It is even difficult to watch how this submarine is moving. 30 knots underwater, plus a submersion maneuver that literally takes 3 seconds. WG set himself up for full arcade mode. Cant wait for the War Thunder submarines update.

[@play030]

It's a Video Game. You can't be this shallow.

[@VELOC113]

@@play030 yes he can, at the very least they could do is to make the sub slower underwater. That's the duality of a sub, to submerge is to make yourself vulnerable to attack once detected. There is no balance to this class, if they make the subs do something that cant do fr then almost all ships so be able to launch noise makes to decoy the torps. It's only fair

[@user-gh7wb2fu6e]

This sub does 8.5kts submerged in real life. The least they could do is get it correct.

[@GatorShawn]

So many problems with subs. That poor BB could do nothing to stop the sub. The CV could do nothing. Even early game when you spot them, DDs are massively put at risk trying to take them out because to do so gets them proximity spotted and blapped. You can't angle to them, with homing torpedos and if you encounter one while also fighting off another ship, you are fucked. It's just not remotely fair. The only thing positive Subs have done is make us hate CV mains less.

[@nathannault2239]

But think of all the money WG is making off terrible players.... all while forcing their OGs out...

[@dakotajohnson4229]

Realistically, the only class is in the game that has a chance of dealing with them is DDs, but they get slapped due to the speed of these torps. Sure the swede dds are better at it but it still requires you to get within shotgun range

[@sensato957]

only complains who lacks teamplay, DDs and crusier should be hunting subs and DDs first. most people ignores subs instead of hunting them, myself as CV i spot them until my teammates kill the sub. If it comes to surface, i kill the sub with bombers.

[@TyrannicalTortoise]

Something wrong when you have to break the laws of physics to make subs viable, with virtually no counter to higher tiered subs

[@davidb3155]

I would love to play subs in this game one day but not the way WG is making them. These ships only went like 5knots underwater, spent 90% of their time on the surface and only germans had acoustic guided torpedo's that were so bad that they would only work at ranges of 200 yards or less.

[@Gravonic]

you need to relearn your histroy bud, they went allot faster then 5 knots underwater. Realistic subs couldent compete in wows. but they still were not something to scoff at.

[@alganhar1]

@@Gravonic 7 - 9 knots is not a 'lot' faster, and its still far slower than their targets. Best way to avoid a sub was for the escorts to keep the thing submerged so the convoy could get away. They did not even need to kill it, just keep it submerged. As for targeting warships, well you had to be either lucky or prepositioned, because you sure as hell were not chasing even slow warships submerged, probably not on the surface either. Even the USN's Standards were 21 knots, 23 after refit. The only submarine that went faster than that was the German Type XXI's, of which they only built two, and neither were fully commissioned before the end of the war. Both were still undergoing their sea trials.

[@dakotajohnson4229]

Their torps also travel 2-3× faster than their real-life counterparts.

[@ginger02231]

@@Gravonic 9 knots is still nowhere near 27

[@GatorShawn]

Subs are only dangerous because we can't find them. Once we find, they are fragile and defenseless. Stealth is their defense. It's ridiculous that a full health BB runs down a sub and the sub wins.

[@ThatJerseyBloke]

Destroyers are supposed to protect Battleships and Carriers from subs. That's basic Naval doctrine. Although I don't agree with some of the Sub gameplay aspects WG has implemented, more people need to be sub hunting and defending in destroyers! Every Battleship or Carrier player should at least have one Destroyer escort. If you don't do this with a good sub player enemy around, then expect to get wrecked!

[@tuandang2268]

Subs are fragile in Wows ??? Are you serious ?? They are tanky as hell

[@michalpajor]

@@ThatJerseyBloke The basic Naval doctrine also says a fleet should have 5 or more destroyers for each BB/CV. So this argument is cripled. Thats the issue, you can't use normal naval doctrine if you want a fair game. The subs are not a fleet ship, they are made for sneak attacks. (Fleet submarines were a dead end, none of them made any sense once planes arrived)

[@ThatJerseyBloke]

@@michalpajor No it's not and Naval doctrine during WW2 and before did not require 5 destroyers per CV or Battleship. The point is...If there are enemy subs in the game, make sure the CV's and Battleships have an escort or get WRECKED by the good sub player. Period!
