Idk, it happens when dropping depth charges, i think it might have to do something with subs, cus when they sank a uboat there would usually apear debry and a black stain of oil in the sea

I dont think thats oil patch. Probably some black color layer supporting new water effects. But since there is no foam, bubbles and other stuff, it looks like this.

I’ve been checking things the community is saying, that the developers won’t be releasing a naval-focused update this summer, but rather focusing on other things. This could mean the naval update will arrive around the anniversary, when they usually introduce new mechanics. In short, submarines might not be coming this summer, but they could be for the anniversary.
UBOAT is getting new DLC this April so I will be playing subs whether its from Gaijin or not.

Wait there are quotes from the CMs about this? Or just people speculating?
Niche, might just be a bug for now, but I’ve spotted AI FF/DE/DDE dumping depth charges in matches, I reckon AI ships won’t be free game with submarines if added next update. (Don’t think AI’s carried depth charges in battles in the past).
Annoyingly it lights up your radars if your ship carries them.

Well remember soon will be April 1st so Gaijin could try to test something. Though my guess it will be around carriers not subs Gaijin has already tested subs twice.

Well its more of how the set up of the yearly update cycle. The first update of the year is a set up summer is a big update fall is small support update and winter is the big send off.
Of course I know, I don’t understand that answer. If you want to fight, go to Twitter
Literally every update since the introduction of Naval has included Naval content.
I counted it out on another thread, of the summer updates since the introduction of naval, 5 out of 8 have included a new tech tree or headlining Naval vehicles.
It’s not a very strong correlation.
