Title: A thought on Submarines....
Post by: Waffle on October 15, 2004, 05:23:55 AM

It's late or early, but this struck me as funny...

If subs are implemented into the game......The "Pasty Awards" will get to have a whole new catagory....

I would love see someone spend a whole tour in a submarine...
Could imagine one of the marathon maps...

Just cruise around underwater looking for Task groups to track and destroy. Come back to port to resuplly.... find some merchant/suplly vessels to kill.

One sub - the entire time..

Imagine some dude spending a whole month in a sub and not finding a fleet.  Then run aground.

:rofl

Subs will probably use pt spawns (or the equivalent).  Now use a little imagination and fill in the blanks.

If there are subs...will the players be able to take control of destroyers and drop depth charges?  Will we have  TBMs that are equipped with radar which could be used to detect and localize the surfaced U-boats which did happen during the war.  
Will there now be dedicated squads that only hunt submarines?
I am looking forward to subs, it will be an added element to an already addictive game.
But no, I would not spend an entire tour in a U-boat.  I'm lucky if I can get thirty hours a month to fly.

I'd prefer to surface and spit out 3 M6A1 Seiran's for sneaky porkage. Too bad there's only one Seiran left in the world :(

If subs come into play... God I hope that Hitech brings along Festers PBY.

I hope that when subs are introduced, that the 'FlaK-nest' modded u-boats are included, so you guys dont think they're such easy targets :D

I`d be willing to bet the only sub you are going to see for a long, long time will be at the local Deli.
  Too much other stuff going on.

Subs? Think there is far too much to be worked on already and in store to even start thinking of subs.

If your looking for a submarine fix there's always SHII and the excellent Pacific Aces addon.
