*psst* time compression  :bolt:

Once I receive a report of a ship I don't go over 2x compression.

The best approach for any sub in Aces High is no different than for tanks.

Yes, just what we need. More magical teleporting war machines.

I think they should use the same ones as the PTs. Used as a defensive weapon, not so much a hunter.

The only problem with subs is that there's awfully little to shoot at. 4 cv groups scattered across a huge area is not exactly my idea of fun in a slow moving sub. There'd need to be supply convoys and nice little animations of escaping crew members after you torp them.

This could be fun even minus the Submarine aspect.  Heavy rolling surf while trying to land troops or supplies with LVT's.  Winds and waves can add a new dimensions to ship to shore,  ship to ship, and AAA gunnery.  Takeoffs and landings in pitching carrier decks.   Oh yea, lots of new possibilities to game play. 

Lakes, streams and rivers, bogs and swamps maybe?  Perhaps not something that would be fully utilized in the MA's.  I suspect however Special Event planners could make full use of the possibilities / potentials.


Gonna be cool no matter what   :x

All those that want subs in the game need to use nothing but an LVT in the water for 24 hours and then come back and tell how fun it is. :)

Perhaps have it act kinda like a personal CV?

You spend a bunch of perks to spawn one at a dock, and you control it just like you would a CV (except that it only shows up on your map).  That way, you can have the sub, but don't have to spend an hour doing nothing but moving the thing. 

Then when you're ready, you can take control of it?

Dunno if something like that would be feasible.

This is so stupid. They don't just hit a create sub tab.
To go threw all the trouble of making a brand new style vehicle, it will take so much time that can sooooo be spent on way better things WAY WAY better things ,in this WWII combat FLIGHT sim.

The game would be better served with the addition of LST's instead of Subs

The fact that the water and TBM are being updated can mean only one thing: Torpedo-Cam!  :x

Nein Nein Nein! Ich will U-Boote! Nicht dumm, Schiffe, Truppen oder Panzer zu tragen. Dumme Piloten. U-Boot ist für starke Männer. LST ist für die Frau.  :neener:

However, if you're thinking of LST's that turn into spawn-points for tanks and vheicles...then that would be cool.
