Yeah, in regards airborne ASW assets the Cassiopea P401, the thing supposedly had a Model 212 (Huey to piss off some people) as an ASW helicopter & you can technically see it in the hangar when the doors get blown off apparently.
In regards to the Cassiopea class which I’m 60k away from & I already know I’m going to hate my life with this sad pathetic thing. Slow, Destroyer spawn, large above waterline magazine (exploit that a few times), two WWII 20 mm/70, two depth charges, large, low crew, no SAP ammunition, not being rated a destroyer (all LAA says fuck you, gods I hate this shitty mechanic). I would say to probably play AB to mitigate the issues, but noooo our devs can’t seem to fix a bloody bug for two months that cripples multiple ships, thus I we must suffer in RB.
Still 3.3 - 4.7 might have the best ASW ships in the TT’s from the Chikugo class destroyer escort to the Type 12 (14× ASW torpedoes/ E50 type frigates (24× ASW torpedoes, also ASW rockets) & the 3.7-4.7 corvettes/ frigates.

Unfortunately any sub hunter with a Destroyer spawn would be in a bad position when trying to perform UW duties. Even the reserve DDs will find it easy going if the opposition is a corvette captain with his head stuck on the sonar screen.
Actually we do have flight decks, we also do have a few asw helicopters but iirc they don’t have their torpedos

Wessex could carry torps, depth charges, and dipping sonars IRL.

What is the difference between torpedo_tube_1 and others? Can you post all images?

These torpedo tubes UI might be same as we have circles for cannons right now.

Forgive me if i’m wrong, but we did not have any clue regarding map remodelling for now when it comes to submarines, yes ?
Bathymetry will after all play quite a role in the subs balancing, wonder how deep your average naval map will be

The submarine versions of the African Gulf and Peleliu maps were accidentally added in to the files in game version 2.52.0.32 ( Dec 2025 devserver ) along w/ other things, the only difference between them and the existing ones was the addition of submarine spawn zones of the template-type previously discussed.
Ofcourse that 's not to say they’ll become available that way necessarily, everything that appeared in that leak was heavily WiP.
Potentially related, a version of African Gulf was added to Mobile recently - it features a more detailed underwater terrain than is present in WT.

I’m not sure if this means anything but the war thunder channel on YouTube posted this short. Comments say it’s the same model as from the battle of the Atlantic event a few years back.

I did, I compared the model with what I could see of the armament based on the picture in the original post.
See here:
The video from YouPube:
The 3.7 cm flak & the two 2 cm flak line up for armament as well, the model is a one to one & tbh we’ve seen a few times in past videos & shorts on youpube.

Gawd dayum the first two pictures bring back good memories. It looks so frikking cool! My fav was emergency surfacing and breaking through the water surface. If only they would have at least kept this mode as permanent and added one or two new subs over time…i dont know why cool stuff that they must have put weeks of work into gets constantly immediately removed after a week. And we play the same old 3 cap gamemode for 13 years now (still good but, yk, variety???)
We need subs…plllllls

I’m pretty sure at this point that the leakers claim of “Submarines almost complete” meant that, in 2026, submarines would be “almost complete”… that is, not complete this year.
That said, steady progress continues behind the scenes as evidenced by the datamines. And EC becoming a permanent mode is probably the biggest gameplay change that can benefit submarines.

I dont even care anymore
In the data mines were french voice lines or french subs datamined? Also 110% imo subs are dropping either this update or the 1st update or 2027 because both a usually big updates

most likely the premium ones are going to come first, then the full tree
Having submarines with the 5th gens in a stealth themed update in December 2026 would imo make sense
