Loading...Submarines are coming soon to World of Warships and it’s a make or break moment. The future of the game is riding on this gamble. I truly hope submarines are successful, but its going to take some hard work and testing to make sure they are ready to go.
I am at same time excited with subs event that I immensely enjoyed, but at same terrified they will botch it as with the CV reee-work
I have no doubt they’ll find some way to botch subs much like they botched the crap CV rework.
The only way they can make them work in the game is to make them ridiculously fast and far more durable than they really were.
Or they can spawn closer to the enemy, a lot closer
I mean, the French Destroyers are in this game, and they can go a whole 10-15kts Faster than they actually could irl
@Dylan Your right, and that in it’s self is pretty stupid, should have just given them smoke.
DD’s with depth charges…hope so. Also speaking historically Air Craft, spotting subs, and attacking them.
and i hope they will resolve the balancing of the CV.s so they wont have so much mess to get cleaned
DD’s and cruisers better have unlimited Depth charges like CV’s have with planes
When will CV have smoke screens?
I would love some more submarine scenarios. Loved it from the halloween event and I can’t wait for some more of that gameplay
Don’t get me wrong, I loved that too, but I have a nagging feeling that I’m not going to love being on the receiving end of it, especially because even at periscope depth, they are nigh invincible.
I’ve been through alot of these kinds of announcements and “omg this game gon die” comments and opinions to know that WoWs will still live after this, regardless of outcome.
When I was a beta tester, wargaming said explicitly “there will never be subs in WoWS’s” ?
@hawkeye5955 never say never.
And, of course, WG NEVER changes their minds. Flint was a Ranked battle award ship, exclusive. Now you can get it in the Armory.
And since then:

And the Sims, gremlin and yubari were to be beta tester exclusives
@Bill Walker Tirpitz was also supposed to be a limited time ship…since they put it on sale post-beta, they’ve NEVER taken it down.
One thing that immediately comes to mind is some Scenario Coop stuff… Wolfpack style Convoy hunting but for Random Battles this is going to be such a balancing mess but we shall see.
Agreed. If WG brings a silent hunter style wolf’s pack game play I’m up for it.
But to the main game?.. Nope..
Thats how theyre going to be they already said theyll be their own seperate thing well before they even get put into a match
I’ve been saving all my YELLOW camos for this ?
You might have the yellow camo but do you have Paul McCartney as the commander? ?
LOL complete with loud speakers for when you surface each time! ?
I didnt know it till now but me too lmao!!!
Only you would predict the Beatles cammo would find a perfect home.
any other CBT testers remember being told subs were never coming to WOWS
Yup. Just like World of Tanks said, “No wheeled vehicles in the game, ever!” once upon a time.
In another two months it’s gonna be “remember when WG said the Yamatos 460mm guns will be the biggest they will ever add to the game?” Enter super Yamato 510mm as a tech tree split or steel ship
Things change, and im glad they do
Yep.
@Praos Crihdoe First, not all change is good (of course, the opposite is also true). Second, that’s not what we’re talking about. In this particular thread of conversation, the topic is credibility.
I’m reserving my judgement on submarines. My opinion that the WoWs team has blown a massive hole in their credibility is firmly set.
Please no. Not this. Imagine the allready camping bb’s if all the friendly dd’s are dead.
I hope they give asw planes to all classes spotter/fighter/asw as choices
I’ll have no problems with my Großer Kurfürst, I’ll just fire up the hydro and go for the ram
i think camping in a bb when submarines is around sounds like a bad idea.
In spite of their past explicit statements that there would never be subs in WoWS. There is no purpose for putting subs into this game.
Asw requires asw tools. Does this mean that all dds now have access to a baked in, constantly active hydro?
Depth charges will come, they also tested that in the Halloween event.
The question is, they’ll secondaries automatically like AA and normal secondaries, or main weapons like main guns and torps.
Oh, and many many people use Facebook in Europe. 😛
And it’s not big news, I mean we knew subs will come, first the April 1 port ship, then the halloween event, then the chieftain video, then the 2 Naval Legends episode with subs….
I knew it, since Wargaming started to introduce some subs in naval legend videos – they wouldnt do this “just cause”….
Russian teir 10 premium submarine: The Red October
Complete with a Russian commander speaking in a Scottish accent.
hawkeye5955 Sean Conery special commander
Starts on one team but finishes on the other?
With Ramius captain with both UK and Russian affiliations. haha
Hells yea!!!!
You’re a fool if you think release will be dependent upon satisfactory test results. WG has a timetable for release, ready or not. Just like the CV rework they will simply label the test results “satisfactory” and release them when they want.
If the CV rework is any indication of how they listen to feedback, then I’d say they’re brewing up another Class 5 piss-hydra from hell.
I think when subs come destroyers should have depth charges and I think some CV’s should have depth charge dropping planes or floating sonar
NOZOUPFORYOU, please tell WG ITALIAN battleships before submarines.
Seriously stupid idea. They cant balance the 4 classes already in the game without the sledgehammer.
I am optimistic and excited about it. I’m building up and saving up my free XP for this.
