  • SS vs SS warfare needs fixing

SS vs SS warfare usually seems to involve both SS sitting in crit dive until their torps reload, then coming back up and waiting for the other sub to come up, firing, and submerging again. The victor comes out severly lacking in air, and the loser comes out with very small amounts of attack. Even more broken is that it essentially comes down to who reloads faster. It especially hurts SS 1,2, and to a lesser extent 3, because by the time they're done they're at half health from crit diving and almost out of air. I'm not sure what can be done to fix it, I'm not a game designer, but I do know something needs to be fixed because in its current state, SS vs SS is just not fun unless you somehow manage to get into a real duel, and even then lower SS get screwed because they won't have enough air to do any real damage after that.

Fire and turn(except w/ Ijn). If your ss1-2, stay with BBs and protect them. Guard a BB6. Stay on the line. If you rush dont expect to get far or to survive. Make an SS crew with a nation you already have high level engies in.

Altsein's only weakness with Subs, is SS vs SS, he is excellent most of the time in sinking ships and avoiding ASW

Not saying that he's bad at it, its just his weakest point, but he is better than a large number of people at it for being his weakness, there is however, many more players better @ ss vs ss that aren't anywhere near as good in dodging asw and hitting ships.

If you want to learn how to play ss vs ss, watch the subs facing each other and see what common things the winning sub does. Remember, every sub also has different advantages and weaknesses. (Gato with 6 front, 4 rear torps, KM with proxy torps, IJN's all front 8 torps ect)

Last but not least, practice makes perfect, this applies to all ships types and tiers.

Also, don't rely on your team to lose, win the game yourself. (I love this phrase that I made up in that one cv thread :) )

you cant nerf the best...it only makes them stronger...NF has tried 12 times, from buffing HH to nerfing subs...you can nerf the ship but not the player

ss1 and ss2 are defensive ships and should almost NEVER leave the front lines of the friendly side...their job is to detect subs coming into the battle lines and have the help of HH equipt ship...if lucky getting the kill shot

the ss3 is the middle ground and the first taste of the higher level ships

the ss4 and 5 are attack subs

so in a surface ship perspective you expect an FF to own a BB6? i dont think so...like the ss you have to earn and learn your way up to kill the best...everyone has to go through it...we all have and its a gruelling grind..it wouldnt be fair for the ones who have worked for years on their crew to get to the point they are now

ultimate sub? interesting there is no "ultimate" sub

there is alot of wicked players out there...no one is the best ... not one single person is ... there is a group of subs from all walks of life which have huge respect for each others skills and tactics ...Al is one of them of course...i have encountered maybe good players and even if i die the way they kill me is just as exciting as me killing them

there will be many more wicked subs in the future by learning from their own mistakes, trying different tactics, learning from others, and finding their own style of play

you can tell who the best are by their attitude to the battles...they usually say good game even if they die and dont gloat about killing a ss player or any player

BBs are the awp campers. SS is the knife fight.

It's all well and good to say "SS1-2 are defense", but there's a few problems with that. Firstly, it's boring as hell as only SS get to your line intact. Secondly, you're not even guaranteed to see an enemy SS or get to it before it either sinks its target and/or dies.
