Submarines - WT Discussion

Maus is facing vehicles with ATGMs on regular basis. If they add Sorcouf it wont fight vehicles from its time period.

I think what he means is that it would get power crept to the point of uselessness extremely quickly in the way alot of big flashy weapons are power crept in game, such as the maus by atgms, the the SRAAM missile by flares, or just tank destroyers in general.

And the M41 that was used in the 60’s is set at 6.3. What’s your point?

Are we also considering midget submarines? Would be so goofy considering how small they are lol

I-56 with Kaiten torpedoes when??

They would perfectly work. Just like the Cruiser Submarines with scout aircraft you launch on the surface. The mini-subs if they have weapons, would be a scout submarine you only launch below water not above.

Just like scout aircraft, you can keep your submarine somewhere else and launch the submarine to either have maximum an advanced torpedo strike whilst keeping your submarine safe. Or at minimum just scout out ships and submarines in the area.

I bet this is how they introduce ASDIC and hydro

Honestly. If they introduce Hydrophone Operator vision like the Radar Operator Screen. Showing you the distance from the submarine, with direction, sound and depending on the submarines crew the range at which you detect what vehicle it is.

That would be absolutely amazing.

In the Silent Thunder event, they had a Sonar mode, kinda comparable to NVD

Only problem with the kind of sonar you’re describing, active sonar, is that it’s really good at giving your position away.

True

It’s purpose is seeing everything within a distance, letting everything see you.

That would be so cool

Spoiler

If possible I would like them to implement the option for Aerial ASW strike for Heavy ships where you could call in AI planes to drop charges in the water so Battleship and cruisers alike can have an offensive against Submarines. Something like how we can already call in artillery strikes in Coastal Boats.

That sounds like a cool idea but I would also think them not having that would also be cool because then people would need to work together more. Like destroyers actually escorting the bigger ships and maybe we could have the floatplanes that are getting launched by catapults could just be equipped with depth charges or you could choose their suspended armaments yourself just like in battle stations pacific
