connan, do you need a sonarman?
I have yet to see a GB with out some sort of ASW. usually when i play sub I am swarmed by 3-4-5 anti sub ships shooting thier own subs to get at me.<---- this is common. A sub unimpeded all the way across the map is rare.
when 10 subs start a game usually 9 are dead after the first engagement. can you image how that would be in a BB? 20 BB's start. every ship in the game can take you out. after your first few shots 19 BB's are sunk by a cl's and DD's out of your range.
just get a BB to shoot the sub when it comes up for air instead of AAing. this is a common problem.
I do not in anyway think we have a shortage of ASW in GB. getting a higher level to fit WAW still will not help the BB's from cying. is this what you are hoping to solve?
if anything touches a sub its screwed. you can take the smallest ship in the game and completly obliterate the most powerful sub in the game.
you BB players really get me with this "all other ships should just sink by the mere presence of a BB". how would you feel if a frigate could just slide up beside your BB and send you to davey jones locker in 1-2 shots.
subs have strong torps no one denies this, but the are very high risk and low exp. they are unbalanced, but not the way BB players see it... it is retarded that you can get an all level 1 crew and a level 1 ship and sink the highest level sub.
do you really think there needs to be a way to sink subs fast than 1 shot of PHH?
