It would be funny, if as a very early or late April fool joke they release the submarine this update after saying it won’t happen.

Nah, they gonna drop them on christmas

Well, when you consider that they are adding more controls, sub systems (no pun intended) and hydrophones/sonar, then there is a chance that they get released this year

Edit: and considering the dev q/a was a month late, they couldve figured out a way to impliment subs with us instantly getting smacked by a destroyer/cruiser

I think that’s a bit too hopeful. Surely submarines would’ve appeared in the teaser or at least be mentioned on devstreams. Neither of which happened.

Hell, the winter event vehicles are on the devserver but I haven’t seen any submarine models.

Smin already confirmed there is no more information regarding submarines at this time

I think they were planned for this patch but got delayed. I would be very surprised if they didn’t appear in the march patch however

I would love for them to come on Christmas but that’s highly unlikely in my opinion. But they said something about a new ship type this year right?

That was their plan at the end of last year. Plans can change and I think that’s the case for submarines.

Still excited to see their continued work on them though. It’s no longer an if but a when, and that “when” is aproaching fast

yes in the FAQ for 2025 in december 2024

Switch fuze mode

Wonder what kind of fuze. Maybe magnetic/impact for torpedoes?

Yeah I’m in agreement here. It definitely looks like they were initially planned for this patch but pushed back. But with the sheer amount of work going on behind the scenes it seems quite likely that they will be the main feature for the March patch.

Usually June updates are naval focused (Japan, Italy, and France navies, also ww2 fast battleships). My guess we have a chance to get them in June.

March/April update could be all about infantry if closed beta testing will go well.

I believe having submarine CBT in March and full release in June could make sense

That’s definitely possible. Like with French navy (premiums in March, and full tech tree in June).
