Post by: Denholm on January 16, 2008, 09:35:11 AM: The sub issue has been debated time and again. Yes Hitech wants it, but all I see is squeakers thinking they can get in one and chase a 50 MPH carrier underwater firing torpedoes as he goes.

Well, let the squeakers work out what happens when they try and do that for themselves. Unless they're on the other team, they're not our problem.

I'm all for having subs - it's a great idea and it would open the way for loads of other cool aircraft (e.g. PBY Catalina :D )

SEARCH!!!

True, but until you posted this, that word didn't appear in the thread.

But may not return all the results.

Just venting.. I wish HTC would make 3 letter searches allowed. Try to search on any American plan (F4U, P38, P51 etc..) your screwed...

Post by: Denholm on February 12, 2008, 01:35:15 PM: A good wish, however lots of people in the submarine threads have replied saying, "I don't want subs"

Chances are you will get a lot more results than you think.

The Americans showed great forethought when they decided to use three character designations for their aircraft, so their future generations could spell them! :t :lol :rofl

As I've noted in the myriad of other submarine threads, this is not how subs can or would be used. They would primarily operate litorally, i.e. in coastal areas, driving CV groups back into deep water where they belong. Remember, in AH, some sop usually parks the CV in a back-and-forth pattern 5 miles off shore from an enemy base, where it stays until sunk or the base is captured. You don't have to chase the CV. It will predictably pass back and forth in front of your torpedo tubes like a duck in a shooting gallery. With a little coordination, it can simply pop to the surface as the CV prepares to cross its T, lob a spread of 6 torps, then quickly retreat to the depths. If the sub driver is smart, he can reverse and chuck another four torps from the stern tubes while the CV is still crossing perpendicular to the sub. Thus, it will be at once more deadly and harder to kill than PT boats, which rarely get close enough to an enemy ship to fire torps, due to the ack.

Searched for Subs with Nukes, there was nothing on it. So here it goes: we need subs with nukes now!!! :D

Post by: Denholm on February 13, 2008, 02:14:43 PM: I did reference the "squeakers" (rookies / newcomers) trying to pursue the 50 MPH task group. I knew that older players would use the tactic you are mentioning.
