That’s a stupid reason..

It’s not 3 games in one. It’s 1.25 games in one. Ground Forces exists in a state that World of Tanks existed in in 2010, and we haven’t heard diddly shit about their boat game. I’d even heard rumor that they cancelled it.

Actually he said that in WT you get 3 games in one (Tanks, Planes and Ships soon) while WG have 3 separate games (WoT, WoWp and WoWs) and thats why he picked WT over WG

The fact that submarine warfare never existed in the type of environment the game will take place in means they made the right choice.

In a fleet engagement, where the submarine would be forced to rise to periscope depth to be of any use at all, it could easily be spotted from the air and dealt with before it even became a threat to anyone or anything.

And that’s why submarines were never used as part of the greater fleet action.

Had that been a WWII submarine being spotted by an aircraft, it wouldn’t live long. For submarines to be viable in this type of game, they have to be buffed to ridiculously unrealistic degrees. See NavyField.

Nobody wants that.

That WG is not including submarines leaves one to wonder whether or not their developers have the ability to properly implement the 3D properties of submarine warfare along with the rest of the game play.

WT’s tanks are fine if don’t know what it feels to drive a real tank and you prefer driving a moon buggy crossed with a belly dancer…

33 knots.

Pretty much every late-tier CV will be just as fast, within a knot or two. The Midway-class carriers are just as fast (33 knots) and the Yorktowns could do 32.5. The Lexington and Saratoga, which were originally designed as battlecruisers, could do 33.25. The Essex-class ships could do 32.7 knots.

So yeah, most larger carriers were fairly close in top speed.

The real scary thing is, you’ll also have battleships and battlecruisers that’re just as fast, or faster. A lightly-loaded Iowa could do 35-37 knots…

Oh yea

Lexington-class ships say “hi”

Oh, and there’s the Shinano-class! KONICHIWA BETCH!

People will call Japanese carriers (Taiho especially) “OP as hell” because they’re able to go as fast as 60-65kph if I remember correctly.

In a strategic naval game called “Pacific Storm”, Taiho was the death sentence of many US ships, when combined with a formidable CAG.

“I would also like to see submarines.”

Good thing you aren’t in charge of anything.

Fuck submarines. They ruined NF, they’d ruin this game too.

For submarines to be effective in a fleet engagement scenario, they have to be buffed to ridiculous degrees and have to be made completely unrealistic. In reality, a submarine in a fleet engagement was dead. Which is why they didn’t engage in fleet actions.
