Ugh...I forgot about how confusing the S class designation is. You have the S class and the "new" S class....Now I have to wonder which one they were refering to.

:huh:

Well I don’t understand the decision not to include the Nautilus and the Narwhal.:down:

The Nautilus and Narwhal don’t fit in historically speaking?????
What does that mean? Last time I checked they were both US submarines that participated in the Pacific theater. Damn near everywhere in the Pacific too.
Aleutians, Japanese home islands, Philippines, Indonesia, Midway, and Tarawa (Central Pacific, Gilbert Islands).

They don’t fit with the type of game play that they have prepared. ?

I could have sworn I saw marines in that last developer clip.

The Cruiser subs were the ones that carried out marine special ops missions.

Can’t be that.:p

Must be that they didn’t sink enemy shipping and participate in the PTO.

Top two S boats vs. Nautilus and Narwhal:

Ships sunk (JANAC)

S 38 2 ships 11,073 tons/ 8 war patrols/3 battle stars
S 44 2 ships 8,370 tons/ 5 war patrols/5 battle stars
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TOTAL 4 ships 19,443 tons/13 war patrols/8 battle stars

VS.
Nautilus 5 ships 19,569 tons/14 war patrols/ 14 battle stars
Narwhal 6 ships 13,269 tons/15 war patrols/ 15 battle stars
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TOTAL 11 ships 32,838 tons/29 war patrols/ 29 battle stars

Hmm. Can’t be that.:p

I wonder what they mean by gameplay?

:up:

Way to Go, Neon...dazzle 'em with facts! :D

They probably don't want us power-tripping all over their AI merchies with those two six-inch light cruiser guns. ;)

S-class refers either to a U.S. S-class submarine or British S-class. The Salmon class boats were referred to as "fleet boats" or "Salmon class"...

Yours, Mike

The Salmon/Sargo class were sometimes also called "the new S-class".

No, the developers did not confuse the "S-class" with the "improved S-class"/Salmon class.

Confirmation of Inclusion of S Class Sub
 

Elanaiba, is this some official assurance that the old S-Class will be included after all?:hmm:

Well, it was posted on the official Ubi soft forums, don't go assuming it was a confusion.

The devs would not make that mistake, they are aware that the S-boat is wanted in the game, and they are aware of the differences between s-boats and salmons.

Old vs New S-Class Sub
 

Yes, that does make sense.:lol: I did assume that they meant the old S Class in the first place, and will continue to assume so until officially informed that this is not the case.:up:

I think we can officially say "phew" :p

Guns?:huh:

What Guns?;)

We shall see...I just hope the Ukrainians know the difference since it can be confusing.

Ukranians? :o
