Im new, but I think the Submarines would make a great addition to the boats category. Let me know what you think.

Then you believe wrong. Search "submarine hitech" and you'll see that many people have seen that HiTech has said he'd like to put in submarines at some point in the future.

I'll make this easy :)
Subs are somthing Ive always wanted to put in the game. My father is a WWII submariner. USS Carbanaro
Basicly how they would work, is simalar to how convoys and gunners work. You wouldn't just be able to launch a sub then have to drive it for hours to it's destination. What would happen is a subs way points would be set. They would drive themslefs to where you wanted. Once on some one could take control of one of the subs.
Other things also need to be written for subs to be implemented namly sonar for surface ships and depth charges.

Hmmm, sounds like an easy fix for a severe problem. Suppose we could geta few million folks to ask for subs?

You know guys submarines did carry guns and planes. Look at this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_submarine_I-17 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_submarine_I-17) it shows many attacks that submarines did on U.S. soil in WWII.

8" inch guns, floatplane and the biggest pre-ww2 sub.
The only downside is that it's French.

it was kill4ed after being caught refueling a german u-boat. so either it was captured, was a traitor, or they took a u-boat and used it for undercover work.

The shore of California was shelled by a Japanese sub and the first and only aircraft attack on US soil flew from a sub
off the coast of Oregon. I think they cud carry troops, shell towns / bases and carry planes. I think they wud be fun.
Don't forget about torpedoing CV groups.

Guys we could launch and re-arm sea-planes from them. And they could be sunk by depth charges which could be added.

Who would you rearm a sea-plane from then? To be honest sub's would be to much of a hassle i believe. Need to design the sub. Need to create an underwater environment. You would have to add depth charges from the destroyers. Possible add sub bases, keep in mind they would have to redo every map that's in use to incorporate it. As well as decided where they would spawn. Also adding appropriate supple convoy's not just a supple barge.
It just seems like to much work. By the time HTC would be done what that they could probably add more planes and or Ground vehicles. Sub's did play a major role ill give you that much, but they were mainly used to sink supple ships from America to it's Allies.
Just my 0.2cents

Launch a seaplane from a submarine...?
I know there was a Russian or Japanese 'aircraft carrier' submarine but Im pretty sure it never left the drawing board.

Thank god HT got FireFox :rofl

That's not as fun as actually being in the sub and controlling it. It's like a CV set way points and let it go. How would you control the torpedoes? Would the subs hunt in "wolf packs" or would the just be off doing their own thing.

The Japanese did that, i only believe once tho. They were off the coast of Oregon i believe, they lunched a biplane with incendiary bombs. They intended to start huge forest fires, hoping that it would delay the US from attacking them. But it was a "successful" mission in part of the plane lunched and was recovered, but the forest fires they intending on starting was a bust.
<Edit>
I would like to see a battle ship before a submarine.

All you have to do is update the ports. No further updating required.

You do have a point. But submarine bases were heavily defended. Guess im thinking to far out side of the box. :rolleyes:

dude we have been through this there were mutliple attacks on the us mainland by seaplanes carried in a sub. look it up.
-
Okay, here's a question..... Would they be part of the battle group or would you have to deploy them like a PT boat?? If they are going to part of the battle group and only be there for support of the other ships then okay, that should be an easy addition per say. But like said before, if you're planning on deploying these like a PT boat, then you're playing with underwater environments and that's going to be A LOT of work!!! Then you have to come up with some sort of way to detect the subs and a way to destroy them. Or, will this be the first "undetectable" platform? If you're underwater and can't be seen or found, this would be a first. What's next, we gonna launch ICBM's from them?? IMO, needs a lot more thought and a lot more planning before we can expect to see these...... :salute

so how many dead kittens has this thread made so far? :rofl

Now another time a japanese sub surfaced off the west coast and opened fire on a fort or factory, something like that, but damage was minimal.

Frame rate of what? Solid blue and some ship hulls from the underneath?
Seems like "frame rate hits!" is becoming the standard negative reply to wishes.

:rofl
Frame rate my pink hairy butt.
All you will see is an interior of a sub and (if you're at periscope depth) a 'scope view much like selecting F6 in buffs.
Subs will probably be the most render friendly environment in the whole game.
-
guys if we do subs with manual control as well as waypoints, then that would be an excuse to do so with cv's. That way we can dodge torpedoes.

so how many dead kittens has this thread made so far? :rofl

the blimps i dont think sunk 1 sub. they were a deterrent. the planes that sunk them were sea-planes.

Actually the majority of German subs sunk were from hunter-killer cv groups. These cv's were much smaller than the types that we have in this game. The allies invented what the German's called wabos a type of dropped depth charge that was very effective.
I think if subs were introduced that spawn points near ports and bases close to the shore would make the most sense. Catching a cv group in mid ocean would probably never happen. I think they would be of some use for shelling towns, bases close to shore and should be able to carry troops for base takes. The plane carrying versions as mentioned could play a part as well.
Just my thought.

Just my thought.
Of 1,155 sent to see the Allies sunk 725 of them. Of the 35,000 brave German sailors who manned the subs 28,744 never came home. Thats a casualty/death rate of 82%. The highest of any service, or activity, in the war.
Also code breaking and the Intelligence war had as much to do with beating the U-boats as did aircraft. The Germans had broken the Allied signals code but then we changed it at about the same time we got our hands on an enigma machine. Now we knew where the U-boats were and since the Germans navy preferred a highly centralised patrol system it proved fatal for the U-boat service.
They eventually built a U-boat that overcame these shortcomings. Unfortunately for them they just didn't have the time, or the numbers of elektro boats, to change the outcome of the war. Enjoy the web site http://www.uboataces.com/

Your right the breaking of the codes and Dornitz's constant control over every U-boats movement gave the allies locations of many u-boats. However these hunter killer groups were the ones that did the killing. They were given locations on u-boats via the broken code. Most U-boat losses were when u-boats were surfaced or spotted on the surface because they needed surface time to recharge their batteries. The Germans implemented snorkels that would bring fresh air into the sub for the crew and for the diesel engines while being submerged. The type XXi was a awesome submarine able to do 21 knots submerged and stay down much longer but like many of the Germans super weapons too little to late. The Germans were also the first to use rubber coating to absorb sonar pings. From what I read this was quite effective.

Maybe we could have a take off of the movie Final Countdown. But instead of using the Nimitz to go back to WWII we use An Ohio class Sub with 24 MIRV missiles. One full salvo would send 240 Nucs and take out all bases in 10 minutes. That would make the Sub and the NUC one's happy. :noid
