Japanese destroyers were torpedo first, guns second.  Just finished reading "Neptune's Inferno" by James Hornfischer, who also wrote "Ghost Ship" and "Last Stand of the Tin Can Sailors".  A common theme throughout was the use of torpedos by the Japanese and their effectiveness.  Obviously US Destroyers used them as well along with some cruisers.  The between the wars BBs had torpedos initially but they were removed long before WW2

Ahh. didnt know that. would torpedo carrying ships be effective? i have seen cvs get extremly close to each other, close enough for the ack to kill the plane trying to take off.

Also Subs would be nice to see aswell, maybe torpedoes launched from the ship decks. idk what ships had torpedo launchers on them, but i do know some US warships had them in WW2.

if we ended up with submarines, that would add an entirely new dimension to the game-- then we would be playing in the air, on the ground, ON the water, as well as beneath it? does that not seema a bit much? and if we did include submarines, would they be available from the hangar, or only as a part of a CV?

maybe only avalable to ports and only ports that support submarines.

the Tirpiz had torpedos on her

did she? hmm

[bangsbox]

did she? hmm

yup it was only difference between her and Bismark

[B-17]

yes she did, she had 2 of them, where, i dont know. but that woul be interesting, having only certain ports able to support submarines, sort of like the b-29

yeah not only that but be able to be at sea for like a day in the MAs hunting and tracking enemy CVs.

it has potential, and so does the fact that you could switch between surfaced/underwater and the power that comes with it-- diesel or battery

they would have to create a whole new perk set. naval perks, becuase if you figure a submarine, a it can be at sea for a huge and i mean HUGE, possibly a whole day in game. and can sink CV and BB groups (if they add BB groups)

[B-17]

yeah, they would need different perk points, but as for the fact that they stay at sea for an entire day... as long as they had torps onboard, they could just follow TGs and just keep sinking them one after another. what im trying to say is that this would be a valid reason to include anti-sub ships, such as the sunderland or the catalina to fight against subs

"Decommissioned 24 Mar 1949"

Um thhis needs to be revised just a tad. I was on the USS Carl Vinson and the USS Missouri was our escort during 1985 cruise. Just saying

I think KG5 should be Britains representative.
