Das Boot!!!
« on: February 14, 2010, 12:13:25 AM »
What we need in the game is submarines.Also task groups should have a kind of sonar to detect them and only have them be able to be at just a couple feet below water.To have there scopes be able to see the enemy task forces.
      
 Maybe as well have a sub for each squad and have sub ports for every couple dozen.The question for me is ed least.What kind of subs U-Boats or Japanese subs and so on?
  
 This just doesn't change the the battles over water but almost everything you'll half to load Lancaster's with depth charges,Give destroyers torpedo toobs and depth charges.Have maybe fuel and oil tankers.
  
  Have not just submarines include battle ships,small carriers,tankers and more. :D

just in case you're not joking logan, Das Boot (Wolfgang Peterson, 1981) is the definitive sub movie, a remarkable piece of work. I'd recommend the 3x100min miniseries version :aok

Do any of you guys asking for subs realize how slow a WWII submarine moves under water and how quick it would be destroyed on the surface by the task groups in AHII?
You guys would die of boredom submerged and probably be clobbered before your torps hit if on the surface, and that's if your torps hit at all.

Just saying...

This is a good point but this almost basically the same as killing a carrier with a Lancaster NOE with the 5inchers manned.In the Sub ed least you got a chance not being detected right away.
