  • SS5 - Is it an upgrade from SS4?

    10. 14. 2011 22:43

Since the last thread got locked, do you think your T5 sub is an UPGRADE from your T4 sub?
State your sub nation and if so, state why...
If not, state why..
Thanks.

SS5 is an upgrade from an IDEAL of what SS4 should be.

So in other words - It's not from its current standpoint.
This is a total fail on the testing team.

Just have to wait till the devs patch the nerfs for the rest of the subs, then the SS5 will feel like an improvement.

From what i recall the testing fellas (Or i should say the people who are around there the most) weren't allowed to touch SS1-4 and were only allowed to balance the SS5's so its not really their fault.

While this may be true, the lead tester should have taken this into consideration and come up with an alternate solution.

What alternate solution is there? make your SS5 kill BB6's with one torp? i don't think so, he made the right call by balancing it the way he did, and SDE shoulda let him tackle the rest of the subs all at once.

Don't even attempt to deny on that. You clearly posted discussions in the test server discussion.
You were right on the crucial moment.

SS5 simply needs an upgrade from SS4 and right now that is not the case (for most nations). SS and ASW needs to have been balanced together as a whole.
