Curious how they will model the ocean floor (if they do), in regards to the plethora of islands this game has. If anything, if this breaks up those radar spamming, island humping campers....I mean cruisers that camp behind islands (in the upper tier games), it will be a welcome change.


Oh to be a game tester for this and have some real input on what happens. I do shudder at what they will have for upper tier subs?

They did finally cave in and hope it leads to all the different classes...so I expect to see more of you in the WoW forums as well as here. I use C_D for my user name in WoW North American server, I did not want to be Iceman598771123547411 lol

Actually I know they could use input/guidance, and real life experience that is found here in great supply and support from the submarine community such as Subsim.

this will all be just another Wargamming F up.........trying to balance this game out and getting rid of this camping epidemic will prove to be out of reach for the minds at wargaming.

I founded the clan called Canuk on WoWS's.

oh and to Iceman, look us up please and apply if you wish.............and others.

So I tried it...didn't really like it. Maybe it was the format? In regards to camping, I don't understand why they don't use the open ocean map more? Oh, wait, you can't camp! I love the open ocean map, the game totally plays different. No islands to camp behind. I seriously hate upper tier games, <tier7. There's upper tier stupid and lower tier stupid. Not sure which drives me more crazy. I was in a T10 match a few days ago, 5 ships (CAs and BBs) hiding behind one, tiny island! lol I smurfing live to put torp spreads into these camping chumps.

I found the steam punk subs to be complete bullocks. It was fantasy so you could get away with submarines going way faster than they would but if they try to do this in the regular game the best they could hope for is everyone with a Walter submarine. Nothing else is going to go fast enough to be effective. The fact that they were only giving you 1 - 2 minutes under water before you ran out of air was just laughable.

The OCEAN map is the only good one they have. I get it how ever. It is supposed to be fast paced shooter game. Most matches never go the whole 20 minute limit. Kind of defeats the purpose of having a submarine however. I can remember having multiplayer matches in 688 that went for hours hunting someone down. I like that idea better.

I imagine they will then be forced to do something with the ash can eye candy on the back of the DD's to make up for the submarines?

I still haven't found anything that beats Silent Hunter.

It is still being mulled over the coals it seems...a lot of people don't think it would work but I remember Iron Wolves and Enigma were very cool....maybe the issue is the game was not built around subs to begin with. I hope they induce them into regular play so maybe I will see some of you all more often. The people in the forum over there really could use input from true submariners like you guys here I am not sure why so much resistance to them.
