Accuracy :
Practice and then practice more. The most
important thing to learn in a sub is
to get your shots accurate. I would log in at two am and there was
nobody on
the water and I practiced long shooting drones. (Tip) This ones simple,
Long
shoot them before they even know your around.
Depth :
I stay at 5 meters to avoid torpedoes. You cannot
be sunk at this depth. Going
deep is just prolonging your agony. (Tip) Assuming that your target is
coming
at you from some front angle head them off at the pass. Coming up a little
bit at
a time and hold at 2 meters to avoid gun fire. Anticipate the Hedge Hogs
if its a
corvette and surface. Turn into the target and fire then break away and as
soon
as your sure your clear of DC's, Dive to avoid guns and side torps.
Heavy Submarines :
I hear everyone say heavy subs are too slow. Heavy
subs are by far the fastest
and most ruthless ship on the water. ( In my opinion ) They surface and
dive a
lot faster than a regular sub giving you the ability to shoot and dive.
Your rear
torps give you the ability to protect your back side however its not a
good idea
to let a surface craft get behind you. (Tip) Take on multiple surface
ships at
once. Use 5 meters to run at and 2 meters when close to battling.
Wait till the
last second to come up. Make your shot and dive trying to hold 2 meters.
This
is a great time to take advantage of your rear torps. Remember against a
destroyer you must clear his dept charges and also get below 5 meters
before the side torpedoes arrive.
Head on battles :
I don't like to even tell people this because its
so easy to figure out and so easy
to win You are in a head on with another sub and you see his torps launch.
You
fire yours a few seconds later both torps on there target but yours hit
first and
you won. How could this happen ? (Tip) You have your sub in reverse and
the
other sub is coming forward thus closing the gap almost 2-1 which makes
your
torpedoes zoom to there target while the others torps seem in slow motion.
Also
when firing torps in reverse it increases your angles much greater.
Patience :
This is my biggest enemy. I often unload my torps
to find myself scrambling
for cover. If its time to shoot don't shoot all four torps unless your
real close,
your long shooting somebody and are clear of other ships or in a
head on
battle with another sub.
Drones :
Battle drones submerged and head on in reverse and
conserve your shots till
the Destroyers real close. Drones always drop way out in front of you and
will
never DC you if you do this.
Complexity :
Comparatively a submarine is much more complex
than the other ships but they
certainly may not be the best. My ship of choice is a submarine but the
ability to
hide should be the last thing you look at. Instead the ability to be a
force to reckon
with should be your main goal. Learn the sub good, It will help your side
torp'n
in a destroyer and give you a better view on how to drive a surface craft.
