Many destroyers and cruisers already possess hydro, which would allow for the detection of submerged submarines, a new class of armament would be required and need to be modelled, and tested for dds and some cruisers : of which, depth charges/

They would use their concealment options in much the same way as any other class of ship, exchanging the ability to smoke, for the ability to submerge.Ĭ) What changes would be required of other ship classes in game, and of the game itself? Submarines would spend most of their time, in battle, lurking near island cover, submerging only when danger near. Slow, ultra stealthy, submarines would be the antithesis of destroyer gameplay, which attracts nimble players, and which rewards twitch style fps abilities. The main threats to submarines would come from Destroyers and Aircraft Carriers.ī) What kind of playstyle/player would submarines attract? The main targets for submarines would be large warships (Carriers, Battleships and Heavy Cruisers), but they would be targets of opportunity.

Submarines would have a special interest in choke points between islands. Versus battleships and heavy cruisers, submarines would act as mobile no go zones.

But they have a troubled and difficult history in MMOs.Ī) What would the role of submarines in WOWS be? Submarines hold a degree of fascination for many players, and potential players of online games. This post is not intended as a serious proposal to introduce submarines into World of Warships, but a hypothetical discussion of how they might be, if they were.
