I would not be surprised if the sub event comes back for Christmas. Just to do some final testing then release it next development cycle. It would give them a full year of the stuff subs sort of like how it’s the year of the Hornet.

Hopefully we get some more sub goodies I can bolt to my ships deck.

I was debating with myself whether to post this or not, because on the one hand I don’t like to withhold information, but on the other hand I also don’t want to mislead anyone with false hope
or get in trouble with Gaijin.Gaijin has accidentally added some files containing test assets to the dev files. Think like the 2021 2.7.0.55 CDK oopsie, just with DM and weapon files instead of models, and on a smaller scale. The vast majority of assets do indeed reach back to at least that 2021 incident, or were otherwise seen before, so I won’t list them here, because, again, I don’t want anyone to get the wrong idea. If you’d like to potentially needlessly torture yourself, be my guest, the full changelog is available on the site.
I’d like to reiterate, that we can’t determine their age, they could’ve been sitting there for over a decade for all we know, and that these very well could just be remnants of discarded ideas or (unsatisfactory) internal testing, and perhaps aren’t intended to be ever released!

Zabi I’m in it for the decals and decorations. I wait for Gaijin to do what they do. And I write my suggestions in the most Gaijinism way possible.
We wait for the snail.
GLORY TO ZABI! LONG LIVE ZABI!

Ew, Germs… (jk)
It looks a sub event is coming…
BTW. Battle of Atlantic was really amazing.

Where did you read this officially announced?
These are u-boat pens on North Port, right?
It’s a detail I never noticed before.
EDIT
a slightly better photo (friend included)

We have had U-Boat pens ingame for a very very very long time. But rather than meaning anything, I think it was just standard map decoration design, something to look at.

there’s also one on the english channel map in Boulogne-sur-mer
They are quite old now tbh
Don’t want to be that person, but the sub being back in the files doesn’t mean the event will be back.
Maybe they are just doing stuff on the vehicle files in preparation for future introduction, although that event was indeed very good and i wouldn’t mind seeing it again

Old unused assets being accidentally readded doesn’t mean they’re actually “coming”.
^^
Also, it was already removed as well. Like I said, it was only here accidentally…

I sometimes hid in those with my small soviet Torpedo boats pretending to be a submarine…

WT Mobile has had some interesting submarine-related things appear in the files today:
HMS X1 and her 5.2 inch/45 QF Mark I guns showed up, probably for their winter event following the pattern of big-gun subs there
HMS X1 - Wikipedia
They’ve also changed the detection radius and depth of sonar, whose stats are universal across surface ships - 1.5km radius and 50m depth has become 6km radius and 30m depth.
This might be related to a new weapon that has shown up, the RUR-5 ASROC. A number of ships in that game have that weapon, but hidden on the model, since it had been unusable up to this point.
There are text entries which imply it will only be usable against subs, which would be correct to it 's method of operation.
