Thanks, that means the Amphion refits aren’t too eggregious. And they’d still be worse than the Tang.

Can you post a link to the mission? I can’t find it.
EDIT: Found it, but I haven’t downloaded a custom mission for this game since the lightning F6 custom mission from way back and frankly, that was so long ago that I’m not confident about it.
Me realising the UK does not have any good submarines until the Churchill class…

Amphion, Porpoise, & Oberon are supremely quiet, and the T classes aren’t awful.
Amphion refit is on a similar level of the guppy refit though the trade of all your guns may not be something everyone wants. I can see some people preferring to take on anti-sub aircraft like the tracker then waiting for them to go away.
Every single one is hydrodynamically inferior to its peers.
I am also not confident with the way they will implement acoustics. If its a blanket generation based value we’re screwed.
That said Amphion is noiser than Tang, but Porpoise and Oberon are indeed superior acoustically and sensor wise to their peers.
However that’s offset by their poor underwater speed and abysmal torpedo.
You guys have a lot of good subs from different eras. They just need a good BR and to know how to play them.

Gameplay wise until the Porpoises, Oberons, and nuke boats they will genuinely just be worse than their peers, they were less of a focus until late WW2, then limited by being refits and not new-builds, and then dedicated themselves to acoustic perfection, which for WT may or may not make a difference we will see how the meta develops but im expecting it to be more about your speed vs sensor/acoustics ratio. with a goldilocks ratio of the two sides being desirable.

I also see in General Atomic Powered subs coming sooner than people think as there not that over powered. Most subs they seem to be adding already can be underwater for the in game engagement time. HMS Dreadnought (S101) would be UK crown for a long time.
I just tested the dive with depth set to 300 and I got there in like 2min in RB. Straight down at like 45°
Also the deep water is very grainy. It’s like film grain filer is ON

Dreadnought should be good, if a little ugly.

Through deep water areas of map may not matter much concerning the sea floor I wonder if Gaijin will scatter some wrecks around so magnetic anomaly detectors pick up false positives or positives that are known to not be a sub allowing a smart player to use them as cover
This is one conspiracy FYI why some WW2 wreaks were looted to remove the magnetic anomaly.

In such a short time? I’m glad to hear you can descend faster; during the live test it seemed so slow to me that I was worried I wouldn’t be able to avoid the depth charges under any circumstances.
Am I tripping or did my mine just do 0 damage?!
You guys better fix mines when you guys add subs. I don’t wanna leave a mine field with a sub just for my mines to do zero damage

I think he has turned this test sail file for subs into a custom mission.
Guess you won’t need to put a retro filter on when you finally make a video on them or will you put a modern filter on it as an opposite for once?
I have tried to do the same things in many ways and failed, and it seems hydrophone can’t be use outside that specific mission or can’t used to detect ships that is not moving. Anyways, will try to make a submarine test sail mission with WT CDK, hope I can famaliar with it, shouldn’t be that difficult to set some ships as sailing targets for subs.
