World of Warships Submarine Beta: A New Era of Underwater Combat

As part of our ongoing efforts to enhance the World of Warships experience, we are excited to announce the beta test for our new submarine feature. This innovative addition introduces a fresh layer of strategy and excitement to the game, allowing players to take their battles underwater.

Submarine Controls

One of the most significant changes in this update is the way you control your submarines. Pressing G allows you to ignore priority targets, removing the white square from the enemy and preventing torpedoes launched next from homing in on the highlighted ship. Additionally, pressing F or C deactivates autopilot, giving you more control over your submarine's movements.

A dive capacity bar is now displayed under the HP bar of enemy and allied submarines, providing vital information to help you navigate underwater combat. You can also see your submarine torpedoes on the minimap, making it easier to track their trajectory and plan your attacks accordingly.

Furthermore, we've implemented several new mechanics to enhance the realism and challenge of playing as a submarine. Airstrike depth charges now have a 100% chance of causing flooding, while ship depth charges have a lower probability. The oil spill duration countdown is also paused during fires and floodings, making it essential to prioritize damage control.

Sonar and Detection

Another crucial aspect of underwater combat is sonar detection. When selecting sonar ping and spotting an enemy, you will now be able to see when their Damage Control Party is active. This information can be invaluable in helping you make informed decisions about your next move.

Submarine Limitations

As part of our testing process, submarines are currently available only in Random battles, Co-op battles, and Training battles on specific maps. Ranked battles will not feature submarines until further notice.

In conclusion, the World of Warships submarine beta offers a thrilling new way to experience the game, introducing complex strategies and challenging gameplay mechanics. As we continue to refine and develop this feature, we invite you to join us in exploring the depths of our seas and testing out these new underwater capabilities.
