Why not?

[gyrene81]

Then you would need depth charges...to what end would submarines be used and would they be like PT boats where anyone could grab one?


  I don't see a use for them in this game.

[The Fugitive]

Do a search, HT has said he would like to add subs. Just not at this time

[USRanger]

I can make it easy.  Our water is a flat 2-D plane.  To make it 3-D would require all sorts of new coding & a total overhaul of our new terrain system.  Plus, a sub is not going to catch a CV.  Would you really want to sit for a RL week in a sub waiting for the 1-in-a-1000 chance that a CV would happen to show up in the exact right place & time for one torp shot?  All that development time & effort would be better spent updating our old planes & getting new ones IMO.

New Subhunter/Anti Sub Planes needed Corvettes, Depth charges,mines, Seaplanes otherwise subs alone could unbalance carrier warfare as is but would be all good stuff.

We will also need ships, and some planes equipped with sonar if this is implemented.

How bout a U-boat. That takes the best of the 2. You get the diving and torpedo capability and also the deck gun, and "fast" surface running, but no they were never as fast as a cv. This has the potential to totally transform the game.

That's what Im saying

No you are not. You have said next to nothing in this thread. All you posted was:

Why not?

with a thread title of Submarines.
We are not able to read your mind. We want to have a thread started by someone who can assemble a coherent reason why feature/plane/gv/whatever XYZ should be added. Do not expect others to do the thinking for you.

Yep that would take alot of effort.

[LLogann]

Actually....... Very little.  It's a question of reducing elavations and remapping "ground level" as say 2k.  Then zero balancing it so as 2k is zero altitude.

Now you have 2000 ft of ocean without having to do anything special.

I guess your right!

Submerged type VII C U-boats typically cruised at about four knots.  And folks complain *now* about how long it takes to get to a fight!   

[RaptorL]

Sometimes a battle doesn't have to happen suddenly, in a submarine battle you need to be patient, and stealthy.

Can I have her as my dive officer?
