I mean we know we will, it’s been confirmed, it’s just a question of when

It could become the nuke of modern naval battles.
Hop in a SSBN, reach a designated area (during which enemy team can try to sink you) and launch once in said area
They could also come like regular submarines, since they usually share the same armament as their smaller SSN counterparts : torps and sometimes antiship missiles

Boomer boats can be added in the normal tree as well just no nukes in there weapon bays. They are really big boats and not very flexible. Combat wise they will be effective but smaller non atomic subs will be better.

Right that’s what I was trying to say. Obvs we’re not going to sling MIRVs at other players. But they will just have a lower performance than a SSN of a similar time period
Less manoeuverable you mean ?
In terms of speed they are pretty similar afaik

Less manoeuverable yes. Also some of the weapon load outs for what we need tend to be torpedoes. Attack subs tend to get more toys

Slightly off topic, but when are the dev blogs supposed to start?

We’re getting the Community Update this week, so likely we will have devblogs next week.

New leak list from you know where.
Looks a bit on the smaller side but maybe infantry will be massive or maybe there’s another thing the leakers are keeping quiet about/do not know.

This is fake because we are getting submarines this update. Do you understand?

It’s entirely possible that submarines got pushed back. After all, we were supposed to hear about them before spearhead, then it got moved to the Q&A. So it might have gotten moved to next year, which makes sense since usually the Q&A talks about future plans, and not anything in the coming update.

I think this update list is one big MEME they stated no leaks so the best thing they can do is troll a little.
I do think it looks kind of suspicious in some ways. Usually there are a lot more “deep cuts” in any update’s roster. This is either the vehicles that are the most obvious picks or copy/paste… but there are some oddballs there too.
I have my own theories about what’s going on behind the scenes in the leaker community but I won’t get into it here. As for now, I’ll await official information from Gaijin, which sounds like it’ll be pretty soon

It reads like one of the lists Reddit pumps out, too much sugar. If gaijin was going to add subs they would want them to hit hard. The holiday update tends to be the best for stuff like this so gaijin can see play time on the new toys and fix stuff. Adding in a bunch or random stuff would not be the best and gaijin has been drip feeding us boats that are meant to hunt subs so it would be the best to add it in now. Then to drown us in anti-sub weapons to a higher degree.
I vote in favor of revolting if we dont get subs this update (not actually revolting, but id be severely disappointed)

Lol charge everyone
It would be even funnier if they went lol you get carriers. All things we have not gotten an April fools around carrier warfare so even more unlikely. But with the the anti-sub boats we have been drip fed its more possible then you may think.

It’s all new damage mechanics in the content disclosures which look pretty cool on the surface, especially the “heavy damage”. As for submarines, these could be the “couple of nice additions for naval”. Alternatively these are new destroyers made with ASW in mind, in preparation for the first update of the new year.
Guess we’re waiting for that Q&A video.
