About Submarines

  • The torpedoes are launched individually and with a dispersion.
  • When sonar ping is selected and you see an enemy, you see when its Damage Control Party is active.
  • Cannot be hit by deepwater torpedoes.
  • Secondary guns fire SAP shells.
  • No AA defense.
  • No citadel.
  • Fire duration: 30 s
  • Fire damage: 30% of base health
  • Depth charges can cause fires.
  • Flooding duration: 30 s
  • Only 1 flooding at a time.
  • Flooding damage: 9.9% of base health
  • Airstrike depth charges cause flooding with 100% probability, ship depth charges with a lower probability.
  • Oil spill duration: 40 s
  • The oil spill duration countdown is paused during fires and floodings.
  • You can see your submarine torpedoes on the minimap.
  • A dive capacity bar is shown under the HP bar of enemy/allied submarines.
  • Pressing F or C deactivates the autopilot of submarines.
  • Losing a submarine: -40 points. Destroying a submarine: +25 points.
  • Submarines: Press G to ignore priority target (removes the white square from the enemy, torpedoes launched next will not home in on currently highlighted enemy).
  • Red depth charges are close enough to damage you, orange ones not.

USA vs. Germany

Advantages of US submarines

  • More hit points
  • Longer Damage Control Party action time (15 s instead of 5 s)
  • Higher torpedo damage (Tier VI)
  • Higher damage and range of normal torpedoes (Tiers VIII, X)
  • Faster torpedoes
  • Shorter torpedo reload time
  • More stern torpedoes
  • Shorter torpedo type switching time
  • Faster sonar ping
  • Wider sonar ping
  • Higher dive capacity recharge rate
  • Higher Hydrophone range
  • Shorter Hydrophone reload time
  • Enhanced Rudder Gears consumable

Advantages of German submarines

  • Lower detectability
  • More torpedo loaders (all torpedo launchers can reload at the same time)
  • Higher damage of homing torpedoes (Tiers VIII, X)
  • Higher range of homing torpedoes
  • Higher Submarine Surveillance range
  • Lower turning circle radius
  • Lower rudder shift time
  • Lower diving plane shift time
  • Higher dive/ascent speed
  • Shorter sonar ping reload time
  • Higher dive capacity
  • Reserve Battery Unit consumable

Sonar pings

  • Damage Control Party consumable removes sonar ping hits.
  • Sonar pings do not go through land or ships.
  • The highlighted sector blinks orange during the last few seconds of the ping duration.
If Then
highlighted sector on enemy ship your ping hits hit sector ping action time
none a sector becomes highlighted white starts
white the highlighted sector becomes highlighted yellow restarts
white an unhighlighted sector becomes highlighted white restarts
yellow the highlighted sector stays highlighted yellow restarts
yellow an unhighlighted sector becomes highlighted yellow continues (does NOT restart)
highlighted sector on enemy ship homing torpedoes
none no homing
white or yellow horizontal and vertical homing
yellow improved homing

Normal torpedoes are not influenced by the highlighted sector.

Line-of-sight detectability

Update 0.11.3.0

  • Emitting a sonar ping does not increase the detectability of submarines.
  • Fire does not increase the detectability of submarines.
