Probably won’t be an issue
Flank Ahead Speed + turning, here would be the counterplay
WW2 submarines are already slow, WW1 are even worse, i’m not even sure they’re going to make it into the game

And they never do/will.
In November
It’s just very tiresome to hear the argument of “Gaijin does things badly, so they shouldn’t add anything new to the game.” Whether in the context of submarines or literally any content in the game-- every update people demand that Gaijin stop adding new vehicles and do nothing but bugfixes, for example.
It’s a reductive, zero-sum argument (Gaijin can EITHER fix the game OR add new broken things) and it glosses over all of the things Gaijin does well. If WT was a bad game not worth playing, none of us would be here having this conversation.
So it’s just cynical to the point of derailing things, and this thread is about the possibility and progress of submarines in War Thunder, not boring complaints about Gaijin. There are lots of other threads on the forum for that.

I know what you mean I read books. I dont even hope anymore…
No.
One thing with subs will be the level of raw quantity Germany can provide. One boat I want to face will be the Type XVII submarine
Has a air independent system!
2 × 53.3 cm (21 in) torpedo tubes (bow)
2 × reserve torpedoes stored on the torpedo room floor.

Type ii would also be fun as an early sub

Subs might be interesting. On one hand, it’ll kill naval surface battles finally if they’re involved, on the other, sub vs sub might be somewhat, possibly, occasionally fun - if Gaijin figures out how to make them work. However, given Gaijin’s track record (There is a GOOD reason why they keep getting murdered in steam reviews, lots of creative ones there) - it’s probably gonna suck.
an a sub dont kill the surface battle but for sure he let play more class of ship in a game and not only bb especially on ec we hope next uptade is strange if not coming

For ww2 it wont unless you run into a torpedo or trap one on the surface. I think there was only 1 sub vs sub kill in WW2. Cold War yes a subs job became hunting other subs as well. Though some boats did get depth charges throughout the years in WW1 and interwar people did think of the concept.
The one thing especially for Germany will be subs with anti-air capability IRL subs made poor gunnery platforms but that did not stop Germany. (did not work well enough but planes where shot down)
U-Flak
They might work well enough being a trap in game fighting small boats and bomber planes but if the sea state is poor you will miss a lot. Also Anti-Air ammo was more limited.
