Submarines - WT Discussion

Hope gj add some tutorials for learning submarine gameplay, seems very complicated…

That’s still not correct as it’s merely the class name. She should be (assuming people have ID’d her correctly) simply U 995. Or in full stat card form:

Type VII C/41, U 995, 194x

(I don’t know the year)

 

The devs really need to do better with naming consistency. :P

Well a lot of cruisers cannot fight a sub like a destroyer or be nimble enough to keep out of harm some cruisers may not even have the equipment to even know where a sub is (not universal there are some heavy ships with the equipment to locate and avoid subs)

I don’t even think they have a tutorial for shells like HE and scouting lmao. It’s quite sad that it’s a big wish for them to add something as simple as a tutorial for subs.

It’ll be the circle of life. Cruisers kill destroyers, destroyers kill subs, and subs kill cruisers. Beautiful

Subs: there are only two things on the sea other subs and targets…

We have tho, they explode after being shot at

Do they? I’ve never seen that happen. Even if you can, that’s boring. Degaussing ring and other mine sweeper equipment is way cooler!

so after some testing, what i really think should be fixed :

  • Diving speed inconsistency : they said in the dev stream the diving speed was double of IRL, which means they got some form of documentation, but diving speed varies heavily on how you dive

  • Going to surface takes a lot of time, if I blow the ballasts, i would expect it to rise significantly faster

  • on a STD ahead setting when submerged, you can’t hold your depth, you start slowly sinking. I’m aware this was a thing on WW2 submarines, but the speed at which the phenomenon occurs seems way too high ?

I would like to just remind everyone the subs are very much WIP and until we get official news on the matter.

Things like oh “they need to add/do X or Y” is kind of like putting the cart before the horse IMHO.
So let’s wait and see what the news will bring us.

I would assume they would as there is a lot of stuff to cover.

Its not very hard but I agree. I fully learned it in half a hour.

Behind of submarine itself, does developers have any plan of making number of depth charge for destroyers historical?

Almost all ships got wrong number, and some even don’t get any of it

I couldn’t tell you as I have the same access to the Dev’s you guys have.

War Thunder devs! I beg of you! Please give us good controls on console for the subs!!! I don’t wanna have to put in an entire nuclear launch code (like in ARB to drop guided bombs) just to submerge!

is it something like doing a tripple combo in a fighting game just to submerge or something? well submarines are still wip so controls might change, but im hyped either way

It’s a triple combo to drop guided bombs (I’m not even joking), but sadly us console players don’t have access to custom content like this. :( gaijin hates us

cant you connect keyboard and mouse or something? and it is sad console players dont have access to stuff like that but it seems is like that for many console players in other games too

I can but, 1 I don’t own that stuff, 2 I would have to fully readjust from controller to keyboard and mouse, and 3 I play on my couch so I have nowhere to put it
