That intro font kills me everytime.
🙂
wait what wargaming actually listened? that was what I told them to do in the submarines survey but I’m sure other people did too.
Finally some good news, and also BTW the AA animation is coming back as well
I hope so
Wow i loved that its not so much but i did love how they rotated
About time. I hate that they removed the animation.
Nice! I miss the animation.
They still need to get rid of this guided underwater Missile bs.
bodasactra technically the first submarine actually was in the revolutionary war, and u-boats started in world war 1
no they were made the same time maybe even before im not sure but subs were defiantly used before for convoy raids against UK and USA
@Will V I have no idea why you are telling me this. I commented on homing torpedoes.
@AzTec I never commented on subs. My comment concerned homing torps.
redwhite They would be trash without them. Unless you prefer being ambushed by a sub from 50 meters away and getting all the torpedoes placed right into your butt rather than having an alert and a chance of evading them.
WeeGee listened? *THE WORLD IS COMING TO AN END!* D:
And those are good changes too… Holy shit!
Yea the world will end tomorrow, no big deal, right?
It feels like I’m in an abusive domestic relationship with Wargaming. See they do listen to me, I told you they only hurt me cos they love me!
this comment is so scary accurate. xD
@John Swanay yeah lol
Gave me goosebumps
Friggin toxic devs
You need to see other people. You’re too good for them.
Sees text ‘Wargaming Listened’…
Runs to calendar to check if date is April 1st….
State of confusion commencing…. continues watching video….
It Sounds like WG learned something from the CV rollout.
Sea lord, what’s your clan in the Massachusetts replay? What happened to tsiof?
Old video footage, like I say at the end, I had to use some really old B-Roll
Next up: Russian Subs get AP torps that autocit.
Nah, they will get access to ASW rockets because of historical accuracy!
Make it heal, even citadel damage… Not realistic at all, but ey, who cares.
I think the Puerto Rico event has given WG a good (And well needed) kick up the a$$, but let’s be fair and give credit where it is due; WG are using properly phased testing to get info and feedback and taking it on board and making changes. Gives me hope that we can get to a position where all classes are decently balanced against each other. One day. Maybe. Fingers crossed.
Fair? Subs firing 2 torps with and having to ping the enemy ship and doing huge damage, because you have to continue pinging the ship the whole time they’re on the way, isn’t fair but a dd being able to spam 24 torps in one salvo every 2 minutes is?
There is a difference. Submarines can crawl undetected up to less than five kilometers, ping their target, launch torps, ping the other marker, then descend to a safe depth while still pinging. Don’t forget, the submarine torpedoes are somewhat guided, making them miss less despite their average detection, and if the submarine holds a double-lock, it inflicts the maximum amount of possible damage of that torpedo (usually in the 10k to 13k range). If the submarine launches a forward salvo of 4 torpedoes, and keeps a good lock on a battleship, it can do 40k-50k damage about every 80 seconds.
DD launched torps are unguided, and the more dangerous they are, the higher detetction they have, to counter the damage potential. (Or in the case of ones like Halland, the high speed and low damage). Also, a DD must stay at a range outside of it’s detection, and avoid any other threats such as radar and aircraft attack.
Edit: seconds, not minutes
@Thomas Paral Having played subs on the test, those torps miss a lot. Your damage estimates would be good vs. bots, but less accurate vs. players.
Next up: American subs receive the Mark 14 torpedo for “historical accuracy”
60% chance dud
40% chance torpedo circles back around due to jammed rudder
30% chance denotation before or after target – due to different magnetic pulse strength around the world
Jokes on you, they’ll release the Mark 48 for accuracy wire guide….. er… wait, that’s what we have already. Man, when WeeGee snipes your joke.
@Greyed kaboom
Intros half a minute long? Add some EDM and you’ve got yourself a YouTube vid from 2011.
“Wargaming Listened”
Me: Wait that’s illegal
Honestly, feels like the subs will be rather worthless with these changes, its a bit too much at once IMO.
How about the converted troop transports? Imagine the Queen Mary…
@Platius Cyndar I agree. Heals, buffs to rate of fire, maybe extra consumables for ships in the buff range to help further roleplaying as a support ship.
Wargaming finally listening?
Time to royally press them to finish the Italian line.
They could include a new island capture mode like in battlestations.
