It would be fun to sue in ss1 and ss2, ss3 and ss4 dont need this, high level
plansman does the jobb is just a matter of skill to calculate your air and fast refil.

"While semi-surfaced, their dot does not appear on radar..."

In order to prevent a sub from hiding for two hours, perhaps adding just a bit more
realism like this: A sub's snorkel was visible on radar at short ranges but was often
intermittent since waves would hide it and then reveal it and so on...

So when a sub is snorkeling at 3 kts or less, his snorkel would cause a dot that
would blink on for a second every 10 seconds or so. This way he could snorkel for a
minute to get air (stupid anyway, see my post about switching to battery) and his
radar dot would only blink on a few times at intervals.

Anyway, the entire idea of a sub relying on air time is complete BS. Subs could go
days in between air purges. The only reason they ever really surfaced for air was to
swap out stale air. It was still breathable, it was just old and musty or might have
been contaminated by salt on the batteries. Oh, subs didn't use their snorkel for
crew air anyway. Snorkels were used to collect air so that they could run their
diesel engines and recharge their batteries.

Please see my post concerning switching NF subs from air dependency to a battery
system.

Heres a suggestion: Try changing your play style, I used to love playing the SS1-2, as
they are great ASW platforms. Killing 2-3 SS4s in SS2, (when your exp is shared anyways)
is a real benifit to your team.

I Agree with buffing sub air time, as it is unless you have ss3-4 you just have air to get
over to the enemy line (maybe) and shoot a torp or too, then get blasted by BBs when you
run out of air. Sure some BBs would squawk if we buffed ss air time, but I say they
should just get over it, tough luck. BBs dominate the game anyway, I would like to see
them get a taste of there own medicine more of the time.

ever hear of a apa
it is a ship u use to take tile's when the defending fleet still
has sub or ships left just run it over to the west border and its
a instand win

as for the harbor tile it self shell the habor and win
not even a sub whith all the air in the world wil hold the harbor then

My suggestion, just don't put too much effort in thinking and coming to a solution. SDE don't
bother reading the suggestion forum anymore.

I am saying this for your good. There are also plenty of awesome idea, and few of them ever
make it to SDE.
Unless you want to give a try, I wish you luck.

That's a good point. An SS hiding during HA could stall the game and just hide the whole
time. I'll have to think over this to come up with a solution. We can't ask that the other
side just look for the last SS, because if he has the snorkel, he could hide in a cloud or
something, then when he has full air, go hunting. Or worse, just stay hidden in the cloud.
The only solution i can see right now is either make the SS snorkel appear on radar during
HA, or not allow subs into HA..

Because it would be abusing and ruining the purpouse of Attacking fleet.
Attacking fleet can't win a tile, as long as there is 1 ennemy left, and the counter last 2
hours, not 15 minutes.

Well, heres the problem with subs as we know it. they have too much reload. I propose
this solution:

quadruple reload time for all subs.

double air time, OR the snorkel =)

Forgive my noobness, but how would this cause a negative affect on HA?
