Any chance of getting user playable subs?  Wolfpacks & carrier ambush would be new life to the game. :salute

There are periscope sightings in the late war arena all the time.

you guys do understand that a submarine runs slooooowwwwweeeer than the cv. so you will be driving these slow things and wont see a cv for hours and even if you do see one, it might be heading in the oposite direction which means you just wasted hours or days doing nothing and show nothing for it. 

if you want a submarine, perhaps you should really think about how it would be used.

I just can't wait for people to 'hide' submarines on the other side of the map.. come back next week, maybe you can move it into a battle position.


PN: WW2 subs went about 15knots on the surface and about 4 under water.

Jup. Submarines were used in two roles:
- attacking slowly moving convoys or single transport ships
- surprising Scapa Flow. But it only happened once.
The submarines very rarely could kill warships since they were about two times faster on the surface.
Even the Type XXII sub would be way too slow to catch our cv.

Edit: i would rather like to see battleships, with escort, just like the cv

Before we have subs we need water to be modeled and all the maps with water have to be redone. Then the ships, amphibs and torpedos need to be remodeled for buoyancy. Then we could have waves and a pitching deck for the CV.
