I mean we’ve seen a basic version of it with battle of Atlantic and modern submarine April fools so i would say yes

SSN’s are often very much faster, and some can even dive below the crush depths of light anti-sub torpedoes.

yeah and there was some improvments in the modelling between the 1st and 2nd event as well, although there still was the issue of passive sonar and ASDIC being somewhat mixed up, since going faster would make you easier to detect for surface destroyers that did not have passive sensors but only active sonar if memory serves me right.
To be fair i don’t think speed is going to be that much of a factor at the upper levels, torpedoes these days can go at some pretty nasty speed, not to mention, if you go too fast, you basically completely lose awareness (like those titanium soviet subs that could basically go 35-40 kts)
Early cold war, though, maybe
Silent running max speed is going to be important however

Bad news indeed…
This update was our best shot.
I don’t think they would add subs in September update. Maybe in November or December if no Infantry release or no new tt introduction.
Otherwise we’ll have to wait for early 2027…
But the leak suggested that subs are nearly done, so I think there’s still a high chance for this year release.

Well it hasn’t been confirmed nor denied yet and i doubt something that big they would make a post before the trailer so let’s wait till the trailer before we lose all hope for it dropping this update

Lets wait for the current dev server and datamines before doing any conclusions. I dont think it will be this update but there might be some heavy stuff going on behind the curtain…

submarines are the only reason to grind navy (for me ofc)

Well they simply wouldn’t say anything if the subs are coming. But they do deny stuff sometimes, and that’s sounds like a denial.
I hope I’m wrong… We’ll know by the end of the week.
I’m sure there will be something related to submarines. We’ll know soon.
I have a feeling you’ll have to wait a bit longer
I think Smin basically denied it
September is posssible, November i don’t see them coming, because it’s usually a smaller patch
If not September then December would be next in line imo
so many antisub measures and boats added, yet no subs are ingame…

Because anti-sub measures are still incomplete?
Most destroyers don’t have their historical depth charge loadout.
There are no sonar and torpedo detection range skill is still bind to coastal era, which is useless in bluewater

No excuse! We want submarines! >:D

And do you expect Gaijin to even properly implement them in a meaningful way that isn’t poorly implemented?

Why are you attacking destroyers and other military ships with a Shackleton at such a close range?
It would only fly low for anti-submarine strafing or depth charge deployment.
Torpedo’s would be deployed a distance away from a ship.

Hopefully soon once we get Submarines added. All the aircraft and ships with guided torpedo’s will get them (all their variations).
