Italy never had any DM53s as well.
yes you can, to be fair i understand USA, Germany and Russia to be first
AASM HAMMER is very capable, rocket-booster assisted bomb so it doesn’t need to worry about penetration with varying ranges and warheads, it also is SAL or IR guided and we already have IR munitions in-game so the SAL argument holds little ground for Hammer but it does for brimstone.
It can carry at least 6 (probably more but ive never seen more than 6 mounted at a time).
I don’t see why it should be that way but I can see why it might, Japan and Germany were the biggest users of U-Boats therefore they should be the principle nations, however the big 3 exist.
It’s like in the naval sub-hunting event, it was Germany against the US, but irl in WW2 the UK had the most sub-kills and practically wrote the book on submarine hunting with the first ASW school in the world which was then shared with the allied forces (the ratio of British kills goes even higher if you consider the amount of assisted hunts performed with joint actions between the RN and navies that were not the USN).

I mean IJN subs sank carrier’s and warships and easily have the most varied and a very large submarine fleet. That bring said soviet subs were still pretty large force.
Honestly i wish they stopped with the whole 2 or 3 nations get new category of vehicles…when it comes to subs id say every nation has something to offer.

to be fair they also did the same with tanks, when it was originally released, everybody will get there turn eventually, just a matter of time!

For once i agree with you. Royal navy subs should be in. Though i will point out this is about subs and not sub hunting, abd that the Americans did to the Japanese in 2 years what the Germans couldnt in 6 :P.

Throwing shade haha /s I thought we normally agree.
If they introduced Axis subs first I wouldn’t mind, historically it does make sense, RN subs could come with American ones as they had similar numbers (~265 for the US and ~240 for the RN).
I only used the ASW event as an illustrator that even though it would make more sense for Gaijin to focus on one nation historically, that is not always reflected. I picked the ASW one because its the closest one to submarines. (Also you’d hope ASW would come with the subs).
TBH I don’t know what you’re referencing but fair enough.
I reckon we might see two versions. One with and one without PD. So if the go the lremium route then hopefully atleast one TT or event.

Americans managed to strangle the Japanese isles via a strategic submarine blockade. Granted, Japanese anti-sub warfare was notoriously awful.
Cool, good for Britain. Anyway, the US submarine force HAS to be first. The US submarine force was the most effective submarine force of the war. Unlike everyone else, the US was actually able to completely stop its enemy from shipping anything. Not even small fishing junks or trains (the ones on land) were safe from American submarines.
Then of course the extremely overrated U-Boat arm of the Kriegsmarine, unfortunately that would also have to come first. I’d at least hope for Japan as the third (assuming they do three and not more or less) since they have the coolest subs, though France or Italy would be amusing.
Regardless, I still hope submarines don’t come this patch, and really, I hope they never do. They’re going to be a bigger mess than anything the game has seen yet.

Foxhound can definitely come now that we have PESA in game.
Its not a hot take to say the u-boats were much more useful in the first war than the second.
