  • My first match in Gato was a disaster because I got rushed by a shima and my torps did not activate but the very next match THIS happened. I can only imagine what I could do with this vessel if I continued playing it.
    Enjoy and have fun watching ;)

      From an unicum perspective: not all good players are streamers. Although maybe Flambass could pull it out for the keks and have the effect on the ''public'', the most of us anonymous players would get bored very fast, as playing only dented classes would become overbearing and annoying with minimal chances of an ''investment return''. WG would not bend. At the end of the day, unicums and casuals are not that much different - both play for the fun and not politics or the money.

    the watchful talent works like this, it lets you know if something would detect you. now you have to know whats around you to know if its hydro or radar. It doesnt tell you which, just that there is something running hydro or radar and youre within its range. now if youre on the surface and you see it pop up, that means a sub is using SS and if you dive youll get detected. Hydro will detect subs at periscope depth at 5km, and you will detect a sub no matter what depth they are at if they are within 2km and hydro is running. as far as sub hydro, there is no way to know if you are being spotted by it or not. until the planes start coming in, but sub hydro detects only surface ships and subs at periscope depth.

    I just had a battle against a Gato, so I popped on UA-cam and found any video to talk about it. The Gato popped up really close to me but not in a position to fire torps. So I raced over to it in my DD and dropped depth charges. I hit it 24 times. It survived, stayed under and we never saw it again for the rest of the game.

    What I’d like to see is wargaming implement non CV and sub servers for those still wanting to play the game but not have to deal with the cv and sub cancer we currently are all experiencing in this game.
    More like game mode, so co-op, solo and then a no CV or sub mode.

    @StuartKoehl Рік тому +1

    You seem to have mastered the essence of World War II submarine warfare: get out in front of the target, let the target come to you, get in close, and fire from really short range. If anything, submarines are underpowered, since few if any destroyers or cruisers survived two torpedo hits, while battleships and carriers usually went down after three. On the other hand, the subs are way too fast. Twenty knots surfaced, ten knots submerged is pushing the realm of credibility. On the other hand, since the games are so short, subs should be able to remain submerged at full speed for the entire duration, since the maximum submerged speed is given at the "one hour rate", meaning the battery will be completely discharged after one hour.

    • @qyygle6058
      @qyygle6058 Рік тому +5

      Ah yes, the 'essence' of WW2 sub warfare. Travel at 30+ knots while submerged, intercept the battlefleet at full speed, survive multiple direct hits and depth charge attempts, evade hydro detection by diving (??), destroy the entire surface force of the opposing team. That sounds about right to what happened in the war.
      You think a sub getting hit with a 5" shell from secondaries would survive more than 1 hit either? You think the showcased gameplay was underpowered? hm....

    • @StuartKoehl
      @StuartKoehl Рік тому +2

      @@qyygle6058 You ignored my comment that the submarines are too fast--20 knots surfaced and 10 knots submerged will do, thank you. I could have commented on unlimited torpedoes, but that flaw extends to surface ships as well, not to mention the ability of ships with hydrophones and sonar to detect targets by sound while themselves moving at 20+ knots.
      Slow the subs down, and the results would still be the same. The submarine threat was perceived by surface ship commanders that the mere report of a periscope (often imaginary) was enough to make not just a single ship, but a whole squadron or fleet, do a simultaneous turn away.
      Most submarine attacks in World War II took place at ranges of less than 4000 yards, the average being 1500 yards, while some ace submarine commanders, determined not to miss, often closed to a point blank range of 1000-750 yards.

    Every argument that Flambass complained about is true with DD's. Im a DD main. Shimikaze puts GATO to shame. And to be fair. a BB can zero out that ship with a broadside as well.

    Wait a second... You get a warning that you are in detection range but aren't detected??! That is so messed up. :/

      because detection by hydro is based on depth. it's a captain skill that gives you a warning that says "hey, if you surface now you'll get spotted"

    6:33 how is that not fair? The guy never changed course once and didnt change speed until first torpedoes were seen. He was detected the whole time, never played defensive. Its somehow unfair you sunk him?

      The key is - that guy changed speed twice on Flambass approad so there is a huge change of DD torps missing. He knew he is detected and he is firing back fighting. He does everything right.
      The problem with Gato is that is can run at you with 2,1 km concealment and launch underwater rockets from 3km without you ever seeing that thing approach or have a change of detecting it. Flambino just made an excellent shotgunning maneuvre with 2x3 torps - first set to the ship, second set to its FF predicted path.
      That Marseille had literally no chance

      @@siriusczech the ship maintained its heading at all times. It only altered speed when it saw gatos first three torps in which is sped up trying to avoid and he launched a few more torps based on the new speed.
      A dad couldn’t get as close but a dd would land the same torps against a target who doesn’t make significant speed or heading changes.
