Zusammenfassung

would allow this lovely thing to have an ASROC

Is there any particular reason they could not be added now? Neither Taurus nor Storm Shadow can hit moving targets, so they would essentially be GPS guided 1000 lb bombs in game, just with more range.
If anything, the Kh-59ME would be more useful in game (I hit a moving target from 30 km away on the dev server, Storm Shadow / Taurus wouldn’t be able to do that).
Now that Kh-59ME who’s in the game? I really don’t see a reason that Storm Shadow / Taurus could not be. They are longer ranged, but kh-59ME already has a range nearly as large as the largest map in the game, so the extra range is pretty meaningless. They also have a slightly larger Warhead, but as a trade-off cannot hurt moving targets.
Haha, that would be hilarious
Yeah, a lot of ships just… dont have value currently (in game and not yet in game) because they were built for ASW
plotttwist, the net would have collision xD
that would be an true caos
New gamemode idea, PT boat trawling.
Battleship with those scooping up PT boats
Catch the PT BOAT / Submarine
the first one who has something catched wins
in a post war / cold war setting sure, one in ww2 would be very boring as subs are reliant on people not paying attention and as the other guy said for DD to do ASW they would need to chase after them which they cant do when under fire from the entire enemy team
KH-59ME has 200ish km range right? (I’ve not looked at what the ingame stats are, thats just Wiki)
iirc, corner to corner on the large EC maps is something like 180km and of course, corner to corner shots never actually happen
So yeah, there is no shot that KH-59ME cant make that Storm Shadow/Taurus could make
cant wait for ASROC and RBU-6000s vs a Type VIIC lmao
thing is i feel this game could have some really good and engaging modes, but were just kept to the basics
Yeah agreed. They keep padding the game with new vehicles with 0 consideration to what those vehicles are actually used in.
I play a few matches every so often but thats about it. Im bored. The vehicles are fun, but not fun enough to drop the same 5 bombs on the same target another 1000 times. Or fly in a straight line for 1-5 minutes and engage in the same boring dogfight, etc etc.
120KM
also if the terrain is a bit uneven and the seeker loses line of sight the missile will just fly in a straight line until it map borders
shackleton for example, doesnt have any of its ASW gear, depth charges, torps, sonobuoys
Yeah, that would be fun.
Subs in ASB too would be fun
more dynamic naval, thats the dream at the moment lol
do we have a date for when the update is supposed to be released? or a guess of it
