Battle of the Atlantic: Ships Against Submarines!

I would say it would because the planes don´t have minimap and hit cam present in the hud which both take lot of space. Just look at these two images I really don´t know where you would fit the sonar view.

I think that the minimap display is brilliant space saving idea and I don´t think it is as OP as it might seem in the event.
The historical limitation will nerf the sonar hard - speed limitations, range/depth limitations, tracking ability ect. what we got in the even was essentially 1950s or 60s (with nerfed range) sonar against WW2 subs.

Yeah. You just had to fly back to the starting point. Reloading for the PBY took 10 seconds, reloading two torps on the He 111 30 seconds.

ha good point, i forgot about the minimap

just to clarify i don’t think it would be OP, it was just a personnal display preference.

Talking of sonar in the event : i noticed the destroyer gets a return signal if it is in the red circle area of the sub (the ones that changes size depending on the amount of noise the sub makes)

shouldn’t those 2 be completely unrelated ? i don’t think an active sonar depends on how much noise the target makes ? or maybe i’m missing something idk

Are submarines coming to naval? It would be the only thing that is able to get me to play naval honestly.
My gripes:

  • Automatic AAA fire from ships and its aimbot like accuracy. There should be no automatic AI targeting. In fact the smaller caliber cannons should have no AI control at all. Everything should be aimed solely by the player.
  • Spawns are too close on the open sea which results in spawn to spawn fire.

as I understand @Stana_WT it is programmed as a global parameter, I guess changing this parameter would also change the rewards for normal encounter missions

Or a parameter attached to the ship type, to change this parameter only for an event you would have to create a new ship type I guess

My final comment on this event :

It was much fun, I didn’t expect a fully balanced event and I don’t expect it in the near future, many things have to be improved and then tested again.

In general I think it will be very difficult if not impossible to integrate U-Boats into a normal game mode like Domination , e.g. most game types last only 30 minutes or less depending on the number of farming bots.

But integration into EC should be possible and I’m hoping for that.
And because Xmas is not far away I’m hoping for the next event on Xmas.

Yes, long story short it was not possible to change it exclusively only for that event.

I think overall an extremely fun event the only issue I had with it was the amount of mission score received from actually going for the cargo ships was so low that it made more sense to just go after the destroyers.

Honestly what i think is interesting is that since submarines are so cheap, theyre available to a lot more nations. Thus, i think all ten nations could support a small sub line.

Hope we get to test something like the I-400 or I-13 next event.

I understand that my cries here are ultimately to be in vain, but at least I will have the courage to say that I tried.
Oh Gaijin, the great and mighty Snail hear my plea. Return this event, this is my all time favorite that you have ever done. I got the challenges done and then milked the event dry late into the final night. But this time, I actually have friends! Oh how I would be forever grateful to enjoy this with friends.
P.S. The sound design of this event was particularly incredible and it must be acknowledged.
Gramercy.

I found it turgid and utterly uninspiring, and will not waste any more of my time on it should it return.

I will so be putting in a suggestion for the USS Requin submarine. That sub is viewable In person located in Pittsburgh PA. Id really love seeing that sub in game.

Cool story, bro…

I know people who feel that about air or ground or naval… Yet here we are with options.

Someone has clearly seen it in person and now wants it. Fr tho I love seeing stuff I’ve seen IRL in WT. HMS Belfast already in game, waiting for Iowa and Midway

Uboat gameplay: uboats attack convoys. Allies defend. Could flip the script in the Pacific against Japanese shipping. Maybe introduce the Bismarck to attack allied shipping.

Good. It’s all settled. Everyone, you’ve got your orders. Now, go and petition Gaijin. Uboats. Thanks

@Smin1080p_WT @Stona_WT

Apologies for the inquiry, but could you share when we can expect this to become a permanent addition to the game?

They cant.
