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. :)

I still enjoy playing Silent Hunter III from time to time. But I can also watch a movie, cook a four course meal, and read half of War and Peace while I move into position to attack a convoy. Not quite my idea of fun in Aces High

Different types of fun (and, more appropriately, relaxation). But, dude, SHIV .... fleet boats.   :D

It's not the same if I take out anything but a VII. That boat feels like home to me after all the times i've watched Das Boot.

will the swell be randomised for different areas / depths?    Take a look at GTA 5 the further out you go  (sharks too  :uhoh)

Will beaches have surf?    

white horses?  

This also opens up the can of worms of the odd bit of bad weather?  maybe localised areas of rain blowing through.  

I know I know but dream big  :aok

Can someone explain how a 20 mph (surfaced) U-boat catches a 35 mph AH Task Force?  It's difficult (and tedious) to do even with the 45 mph PT boat.

If subs were ever to be added to AH, I would suspect that slow naval supply convoys would also have to be added as targets, especially since those would be on fixed (and therefore eventually known) paths and easier to intercept.

Just wait until twenty of them surface just off the coast of a field and start vulching with the deck-gun, or you get dragged to one with it's AA gun in the middle of nowhere.

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.

Post by: j500ss on March 03, 2014, 04:11:32 PM
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

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.

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.
