Submarines - WT Discussion

would have prefered it sea power style, though i think it’s likely going to change as more modern subs get added, so for a start it’s okayish i guess.

I’m not even sure WW2 subs could target with hydrophones ? My understanding was that they were used to maneuver out of destroyers path and keep global situational awareness when diving

yup, true. Forgot about the load

So what’s next after subs? Air craft carriers?

As far as I know, no
You could only get a very rough (like <5km, <15km, <50km, <100km) range estimation

I’m assiming yea (Mistel 2 deploying an AI aircraft from a player vehicle seems like a test for that)

I hope they implement the gameplay in a way similar to what I’ve suggested! Sadly when I tried to make it a suggestion it got denied and I couldn’t be bothered to figure out why.

Here’s what that suggestion was. The actual suggestion got denied. Playable Aircraft Carriers [Concept]

I was hoping they would model a simplified TDC for WW2 submarines so you only have to estimate enemy ship heading and firing solutions can only be made from surface or periscope depth instead of the current system tbh

Going to be very interesting to see how they play

Knowing gaijin they’ll do the exact opposite of what I’ve suggestion and make them straight ass.

I agree, but they really need to do something about underwater lighting.
I get that you should probably not see anything that deep and it would be unrealistic, but something like Sea Power where you can at least see a bit your hull when really close would be nice.

Right now it’s pitch black with that old TV grainy effect X)
Can have the same at home by just closing my eyes tbh

I feel having everything being illuminated by some form of Sonar would be cool.

Would be nice to have artificial lighting while underwater so you can see your submarine and terrain instead of it being on the top left of your screen in a small circle

I mean like the terrain and objects get like outlined. Not like actually lighting up the area. I can’t really find examples except maybe Fancy’s “Escape the Backrooms”. In that game there’s a pitch black level where the only way to get around is with sonar that outlines the walls and stuff.

Basically if it had slightly more light than it currently does I think it’d be fine

Disgusting. Hopefully never

It’s gonna have to happen sooner or later, there’s only so much now that can be added in terms of WW2 era naval. It’s been getting stale.

Age of sail.
But no I’d rather they go forward with it, it’ll all be the same style of gameplay and still stale.
