Except that torpedoes are only really effective at about point-blank range (due to their being much slower than the shells from a battleship’s guns, for example), whereas arty can fire across the map.

He said that U boats would be too powerfull but as soon as they surface there too vulnerable. that reminds me Artillary OP gun but dies instantly if spotted

I’m almost certain submarines would be in if the Soviet subs in WWII had a stirring battle record worthy of song and Hollywood movies.

But they don’t so they aren’t.

Does anybody know how crew/crewtraining is going to work in WOWS?

No submarines, huh? Well, there goes one of the reasons I was considering ever trying out this game.

Key difference with this, however:

SPGs: long ranged weapons that can shoot across the map.

Submarines: has to close in to almost point-blank range in order to reliably hit a target with torpedoes.

They’re actually closer to the Tank Destroyers in WoT. If anything’s similar to arty, it’s aircraft carriers.

Or the Lexingtons that were designed as battlecruisers, changed to carriers, but still had the 8 inch guns of heavy cruisers.

Or how about the half battleship half carrier things the Japanese had.

I am curious about the HMS furious like what might they do with it it was a seaplane carrier after its forward BL 18inch gun was taken off would it be classed as a aircraft carrier or would they decide to stick the 18inch gun back on? also i know this the BL 18inch gun did terrible damage to the furious though in 1917 having a BL 18inch gun the gun would probably split other battleships of that era in half
