Submarines - An Overview

Submarines in World of Warships

No other ship class polarizes players more than submarines

World War II significantly transformed submarine warfare, marking it as a pivotal moment in the history of submarines. The conflict saw submarines emerging as formidable tools of naval power, particularly for Germany and the United States. The effectiveness of U-boats in disrupting Allied supply lines exemplified their strategic importance.

During this period, submarine design and tactics evolved rapidly. The introduction of improved sonars and radar technology enhanced detection capabilities. Submarines utilized stealth and surprise, employing wolf pack tactics that allowed multiple submarines to coordinate attacks, maximizing damage to enemy convoys.  The war also led to innovations in submarine armaments. Torpedoes were refined, and the use of deck guns provided submarines with greater versatility in engagement. The result was a significant escalation in the scale and impact of naval warfare, reshaping strategies that would influence future conflicts.

Ultimately, the experience gained during World War II laid the groundwork for the advanced submarine capabilities seen in the post-war era. 

As the saying goes, "Never Say Never" --

Despite the original "never" statement by Wargaming, submarines are here to stay in the game.  It is without a doubt the most polarizing class of ships in the game.  So, there are two options:  How to play submarines or how to counter submarines.  

One of the better written resources of the current submarine line is Yurra's Collection of Guides:  Submarine link

Yurra's Collection of Guides is very comprehensive for all classes of ships but also give a very good overview of submarines in general with a focus of USN, German, British along with U-4501 and I-56 submarines.

Apart from USN boats Allied Submarines look ugly ( that doesn't mean there not quality vessels ) I'm saying U - Boats have style, when your out on the hunt you want to look your best 😃
