Submarines - WT Discussion

XD Lmfao

I just saw this on the next major update Rumor Round-Up thread… God I hope this is true.
leaked list 4
Somebody on there told me gszabi said it’s fake I’m sorry…

Possible event on December similar to Silent Thunder.
From second side looks IWW & IIWW classes as era I -IV.

You cross in front and drop them off the side from PT boats - few of them have launchers.

I see that you enjoy thinks of new vehicles, but let Gaijin at least make this game properly and then I’ll think about submarines.
Seriously, I’d like to pay for the game and we already have so many vehicles that I just want Gaijin to make the game properly.
Good hunting!

My disappointment at the lack of Surcouf is great.

I saw this one as well, but it just screams “FAAAAKE”… When you roam the R&R threads long enough, you’ll learn to recognise the fake and the copium intensifies…

Well, the legit leak lists just dropped (Gszabi99 and Yukari33) and Naval is… quiet.

Japan will get an event Kongo class (again), USA will get a Colorado-class, and the Soviets will get the war reparation Arkhangelsk as well as (non-playable) Admiral Kuznetsov for test flights…

I’m not saying we should assume that the rest of the Naval stuff this update would be submarine related, but it would be fun to imagine…

I live in hope of Surcouf.

Except I know it won’t happen, but I hope.

I guess it’s a meme, but otherwise dunno why you would want it - 3 rounds per minute from only 2 guns, they’ll speed up the 3 minutes to get into action of course, 14 founds ready ammo each gun, the 37mm AA guns are single shot so really you only have 4 x 13.2mm machineguns for AA, a horrible mix of 550 and 400mm torpedoes (why TF did people do that??), massive target, slow, unmanouverable…

Surcouf is a glorious vessel. The guns are only part of the armament, and the torpedoes are really quite hefty. It was a quite advanced design for the time as well, alongside forcing limitations on submarine design lol

Plus, it pretty. I like it. It is also huge, and that surely counts for something.

A fool and his money…

Surcouf is cool. Isn’t that reason enough to add it?

It’s got a heavy torpedo armament, and relatively high surface speed (at the time). Plus a launchable floatplane too.

Basically it’s a big cruiser sub with a bunch of extra gimmicks piled on top. Would it be good? Who knows, maybe not, but it’s still cool. Some people like weird, non-competitive vehicles in this game, there’s nothing wrong with that.

Oh, c’mon. If that’s true not all powers together:
1st step: main WW2 powers
2nd step: japanese + british
3rd step: italian
4th step: french
5th step: swedish

Entirely subjective opinion - and obviously 1 I do not share - to me it is a folly - a silly sideshow of no importance or use, a historical oddity.

Eh, more vehicles the better right. Hell we got the f117 and l3’s. Why not make a naval one?

Surcouf would be such a lovely addition. It’s iconic it has a different gameplay than “normal” submarines and alot of people want it so I don’t see why they wouldn’t add it.

Surcouf would likely arrive as an event vehicle as she would be a poor fit alongside conventional boats and aside from the M class and I-400 there are few equivalents to dedicate lines to. I would predict a couple of weeks of play afterwards then left to gather dust, but that’s not unusual with event vehicles.

The other alternative is Premium as no doubt many would succumb to the urge for a notorious big gun sub without actually considering the negatives. Would not be the first.

Imo shes hype over substance. Big target on the surface, slow and unmanouvrable below. The guns are big but very limited compared to smaller weapons on conventional surface ships. Many caps would simply be unsurmountable problems.

Never say never, but an absolute massive overhaul from the seabed upwards would be needed to make the largest boats remotely feasible.
