Just an idea...

the Japanese built these huge submarines classed as I-400... They were massive and they
actually carried planes aboard... capable of going underwater, the surfacing, and
launching planes.

It would be cool to be able to do that here in NF... Imagine if NF made a submarine
(supposedly each nation was working on it, but the IJN was the only nation who actually
built one like this) with aircraft space of say... 650... not big enough to do endless
bombing missions like a true CV... but enough to take out a CA or maybe a BB1/2...

it would add a whole new element to the game!

I got the 650 number based off of actual planes held on the real ships of the IJN
(provided by wikipedia) and the ratio of "aircraft space" given to CV's by nf... i added a
bit to make it a bit useable for maybe 1 or 2 bombing missions...

cheers!

Im a IJN sub player and all i have to say is....


THIS IS WHY WE HAVE CV'S!


Its just not needed!

Waste of time, space, effort, and will only make sub players worse as they sit there and
launch 3 planes.

Germans did plan a type XI / XI-B class, which would be similar to the I-400, but they
were more of a "BB" sub then a carrier sub...

Being so big, make the crash dive time quite significant. ASW's will have no trouble
eating up the I-400 in no time and have a large sum of EXP wait'n for em!

I agree with seeker that we should definently have the I-400 class subs in NF. It
would add a great aspect to the game as sub drivers will have a chance to strike
back from the surface. When the I-400 did not become the SS4 I was upset because
I believed that it would have become the SS4.

But going by the way sub weapon damages are scaled up, we can expect to see
sub specific planes with bomb damages of OVAR 9000!!!!!!!!!!!1(one)

Alright, from my source the i-400 could carry 3 m6a seirans with 1 800 kg bomb
each. Now, the current seirans are the tier 0.5 torpedo bombers, but they would be
pretty much the same if they were dive bombers as well. Currently they need 80
plane space, so it would likely be the same for dive bombers. 3x80 = 240, so the i-
400 would need 240 plane space, and some extra displacement for bombs.

Possible, but in my opinion we dont need something that has 8 torps in front AND
dive bombers. Also, keep in mind it could only launch 1 at a time.
