Depth bombs/charges, mortars. Do they make sense?

Game Discussion General Discussion

Why is there a weapon in the game that makes no sense to develop/possess?

Depth charges are completely unplayable, similarly depth charge mortars, they are in many ships, boats and we have nothing to sink them, they are only a problem because they cause damage if we put them on our ship (the fact looks better with mines, bombs, mortars, etc.) and that’s it.

Will you add submarines? I understand that the introduction of such units is a challenge, so maybe as random targets under water that need to be tracked down/ catched u/ destroyed, maybe as an additional function, that I launch a submarine that acts like a drone in vehicle battles and you have to destroy it so that it does not scan and recognize floating vessels.

Maybe it’s worth doing something about it or removing it.

Greetings and I invite you to discuss, especially developers.

The only thing that would interest me into giving naval a try

Last update was in Nov

There might be an update on them sooner rather than later

Yeah, gunna be a balancing nightmare but should be quite good fun. I enjoyed the test event

In the beginning of development of naval as a gamemode it was only coastal vessels.

And while depth charges are dedicated ASW, they are basically just bombs on a timer.

Back in the early days you could use them as close range weapons to drop underneath someone in a drive by. Or even us them to defend against fast boats circling you.

Over te past years the meta shifted and this became less common.

The one in like 2016/17 or something like that? Damn I remember that one, was quite a fun!

There was one about three years ago I think with actual WW2 submarines against US destroyers

That’s what I thought, try the coastal fleet, fast motorboats, very playable battles, rapid-fire guns, it’s nice to hunt something bigger with a torpedo, but you have to learn, because it’s not easy, I really recommend it.

I just wish the coastal rewards were better. Only tree-type that ive not yet reached top tier at because its kinda a slog to grind

The Russian tree is the best, I’m tired of the American top tiers now, but they’re boring. Russia has the best toys(AK-630 automatic cannon) 5,000 shots/min. Gaijin is known to promote Russian technology, so it’s also nice to play with something that is theoretically weaker and win, but I had to have Russian speedboats;-) You can always change the flag

Yeah, CBA for that, grinding down the British coastal TT at the moment, as im hoping for a Type 21 Frigate sooner rather than later.

I really dont like how P2W the soviet TT is though

I agree with you 100%, P2W. I’m from Poland so some projects of Russian boats were in our coastal fleet, so I wanted to play with them and it turned out that they are absolutely OP. Admit that boat models are crazy super graphic details and good sound of engines, American speedboat are bubbling…
