Ok, glad i have a chance to address some of the biggest garbage out there from BB involving SS. First of all, I have sunk many, many BB. Of all types. Never. EVER. Ever, have i one shotted one. Not 2, 3, or 4 will do it. (ok maybe a BB1 if you are IJN and none pass under) Usually for a good BB, it will take a full load to take bulge and SD then another load to finish it, though for BB 5 and 6 it will take some of a third load to finish. So wow, not sure how that differs from getting 1 or 2 shotted by an enemy BB, in the grand scheme. You talk about relative levels, as if that matters. You always use th "when a lvl 47 can kill my BB6, blah blah blah.." Lol, dude, if you are in a BB6 that gets taken down by an SS1, quit the game. Thats like my housecat taking down a deer. No, in that case, maybe you take a torp or 2, then you just leave. Thats right , just drive away... know what a sub can do about that? Nada. Zip. Zilch. We are slow. We say buh bye and seek another target. But oh, by then our air is out. Guess what happens then? we surface and get killed. But back to the level thing. I can take a neut crew, get to lvl 12 and go kill lvl 90+SS. Like nothing. Someone said to make SS more vulnerable to HH? You on drugs? If HH lands anywhere near you, you are at least crippled. And DC? Oh sh*t, forget that, those just tool you, end of story. Someone mentioned the ASW CA, which are freaks of nature and pretty much undefeatable unless ur real real lucky. SOmeone said SS have tons of air? Hah. Even the fact that it can run out in the time frame of GB at all cracks me up. Really. Really? A 'submarine' that can only be under for 4-7 min? What a joke. What SS drivers have now is a nerfed little SS-like joke that BB whiners have shaped them into with their crying and moaning. Only the very very best SS drivers are anything at all what most BB portray every SS to be. See, I dont rly mind all of the nerfing tho, it just makes it so much more satisfying to pull off a big run and sink many ships. My main gripe at all is the whining from ppl who dont realize that to nerf SS anymore would make them COMPLETELY useless, as opposed to the hit or miss status they have now. That , and like they said above, you take an xp hit for being too far above your ship. We need more spaced out , if for only a repaint and new lvl designation. Thats not asking a hell of a lot. And hey BB guys, cant you just be satisfied with killing anything on the surface in one shot incliding SS? And other than that, having to watch out for planes and ss? Is that way too much to put on your manual shooting super skilled shoulders. I would think true players would welcome the challenge.
Only thing I will say on behalf of BB drivers: Capital Ships need sonar. Period. Its not fair, and they shouldnt have to have an escort to get it. Then it can be their choice whether to be 'run from ss' or 'kill ss with HH' . Disclaimer: I have a few BB and am getting more and more addicted, also drive CV, so im not just biased for SS since it is my only deal. I just do them all and get tired of the SS hating as much as i get tired of ppl hassling CV players, even when im not playing one. CV, another job that is a lot more involved than just driving up and down the map and hitting the spacebar.
