New Name: Aces High And Low
« on: May 21, 2009, 06:23:01 AM »
I myself love playing all sorts of World War II simulators, with all types of craft. And as such, I would love to see the navies enhanced with submarines added to the mix.  :pray

Yeah I knew someone would is why I already did a search and nothing came up. Guess it's been awhile for the request.  :salute

even at that though, I'd love to be able to up fleet ships or by them with perks.  I cant count the amount of times some glory boy with a higher rank than me stole a carrier I was originally commanding then sent it into a losing battle to be sunk.

The main issue with submarines, at least imo (don't know, don't quote me) would be the submersion of them. Since (again, not backed up by t3h skuzz) all water is at 0, it would be challenging to get a sub to submerge from a coding perspective (depending on the language). I think that subs do not have a place in AHII, they would become just one more thing to sink when you decide you've got nothing else to do and go CV hunting. I don't really see a practicle purpose for them in AHII.
Sometimes, we just need to remember what the rules of life really are: You only
need two tools: WD-40 and Duct Tape. If it doesn't move and should, use the
WD-40. If it shouldn't move and does, use the duct tape.

Well as it is right now, the water in AH is almost like solid earth so they would need to put actual water and depth to it before you could even think about subs.  I would like to see em' someday though.

Hitech has said he would like to add subs into the game. So by that statement, I'm sure its not a big issue to add some negative numbers to the alt coding to to get some depth to the seas. On the other hand HTC has also said its not real high on his list  :D

Ok so you get a sub, then the whine starts about how we dont have free steering destroyers to drop depth charges, then the whine list grows and grows because the subs can't dive deep enough and then you have to have sonar operators and it becomes a sub game.....go get one theres a few out there.
They call it "common sense", then why is it so uncommon?

I think we should get battleships, cruisers, destroyers, CVs, supply ships and THEN subs well after we have the capability to combat them.  Also give the game some sub hunter planes like the mariner or depth charge equipped avengers.
