I imagine thats how player controlled carrier’s will work too, only thing i think they would do similar to world of warships is like 2 or 3 carrier’s per team then it caps out, i imagine if heli carrier’s were added too they would be able to stack with regular carrier’s too.

The new EC is perfect for both. I (and many others) think that that’s why it’s added as a permanent mode since the most recent update.
I for one love how it’s going, the future looks bright!
I actually worked on a concept for how they could work. I put the link under the actual aircraft carrier suggestion.

It looks like submarines are finally coming, but honestly, won’t everyone just end up using the ones with long-range torpedoes and large warheads, like they do with Shimakaze?

Japan’s Ace was always her Torpedos (they became the base of a bulk of cold war Torpedos) Most likely by bet the most popular will be in order Germany, Japan, USA, UK, French, Russia. However Russian Cold War subs maybe a hidden gem.
‘Kairyu’ Class will be a fun low tier midget sub (one way attack warhead was not equipped to all of them FYI.

Not if you hunt other subs :)
But fr I will larp as a gato class
Surcouf gonna be strong, im telling ya, 2 203mm guns in a movable turret way stronger than 1 305mm gun that is fixed forward on the big Japanese submarine gonna sneak some ammo racks with it. It also gets a turnable turret for it torps so you can be extra cracked.
I400 carried planes though, not a big gun i think ? wasn’t the one with the 305 british ?
Possible i remember it wrong
Crazy to think these undersea behemoths are actually quite small by today standards though, submarines really did not evolve the same way surface ships did when it comes to size (even excluding SSBNs for obvious reasons)
