submarines in AH

[jAZZer]

Also proper rivers would be nice

[Eric19]

if we got subs I want my U-boat and if you stay in the middle of rivers you can get a very deep enemy base I've done it before in a PT boat drove for about 30mins to an enemy base got stationed of shore and let my rockets fly

     It will be interesting watching you guys track 32 knot CV groups, then trying to evade ASW formations of heavy bomber carpetbombers
at under 10 knots.  Quite the challenge I'd say.

[Eric19]

for the majority of the time we would have to be above water to catch the CV only untill we got within about 2500ft of eachother then should we submerge i think on the water the Subs would be pretty fast I think maybe 40mph max idk

     Admittedly this is from Wiki, but Uboat.net had pretty much the same info.  The Type VII had a max speed of 18.6 knots for the fastest
variant <1942-3> and a max underwater speed of 7 kts.

      The Gato class <the ones that have been appearing at our ports> were 2 Kts faster both on surface and submerged.

     See the problem?

I don't know knots that well plz explain this in mph or something

knots * 1.15 = mph

[Rino]

     A nautical mile is 6,076 feet and a statute<US normal> mile is 5280, thus the difference.

     To make it simple, the CV moves almost twice as fast as the sub...even when it's on the surface.

Thus makes Submarines quite useless since unless the CV turns its doing 32knots all the time while a submarine can barely get 19 knots.

So.. You are going to need someone to AIR search and find a task force.....Drive at 19mph and "maybe" get in front of it most likely less then 5% ever will.

Useless and a waste of time.

NO ONE would donate the necessary time sitting idle or AFK....

i'm not sure, there are people who want to drive m3's into the wilderness to park and be a radar..

Consider the source.

If subs were launched from shore line bases like pt boats they could be used to attack cv groups as they attack those bases. With all the pt spawns we have and the awesome cv drivers that love to park on said spawns there would be very little time wasted attacking cvs.
