That would be disappointing.

Same as when they started introducing them and why I don't play them.

After the update, we basically all know about it here.

Thanks to WG closing this place, the number of negative reviews on Steam has increased.

I use ranked to practice my sub gameplay, its pretty brutal. My favorite is when DDs charge me, they cant escape. Either they eat torps or get rammed.

Yes, it is intriguing why we still cannot take SSs into the Training Room.

Is there something about their mechanics and/or their RNG protection they do not want us to discover?

[Andrewbassg]

So it seems that I have to correct myself 🙂

 

 

The battle selection interface has been changed!! Training battles no longer have an icon, but rather a selection box.

Well....

IT is there! I stand corrected.

It would be interesting to know why you cannot knock out their torpedo tubes. I have never done that, though I have started fires and flooding. Also, has anyone knockout out their engines, like you can easily do on a DD?

[majmac]

Also, for someone using SSs, do you hear the sound of artillery when you are submerged?

I am playing a submarine in the training room as we speak.

Click the square box where the training room text is and you go straight through.

Oh it can be. Both tubes and engines.

Yes,  it has been sorted out already 🙂

Fear not, he wasn't 😛

I may start sampling them, now that the Training Room can be used.

Then on to Co-op ...

I have the Salmon and the Balao, though I do not remember how they dropped into my port.

A bit like the five CVs that I have... (Not counting the two rented ones for Concealed Maneuvers 🙂

Nah keep them in randoms as much as possible, where they belong, I mean what are you gonna test in a sub, it goes up/down, fires torps, has hydro some have a gun, learn in randoms, shot gun a bb or two

One thing you could learn in training rooms is the underwater terrain for various maps.  Keep in mind that in random battles your opportunity to keep testing depends on whether I kill you with my BB first.

Submarine torpedo tubes can be incapacitated.
Most Submarine players use hull-modules to improve the odds of the tubes remaining operational. 
But, submarine life can be perilous.

On the surface and at periscope depth one can hear other ships firing their guns and can hear nearby impact explosions.
Once fully submerged, gunfire sounds fade significantly.
Depth-charge explosion noises also vary by proximity to the submarine.  The really close ones can sink one's submarine.

I like that they've done a lot of work to make the under-the-surface terrain of the sea-floor and island slopes interesting.
But, the work on modeling the acoustic environment hasn't quite kept pace, in my opinion.

As you gain experience, I'm curious about your own impressions.  I'd also like to compare notes with other Submarine players, too.  🙂
