World of Warships - Want to play Subs better and not Die, then watch this video 

So I've played 34 matches in a sub so far. It was common for me to get one hit and be blown up within the first few minutes. I watched this video and learned some cool stuff. Now I'm getting 11 to 18 hits, one or two destroyed ships, and I'm living to the end of the match. Of the 12 matches I played today, i was 50-50 win-loss, but even in a couple of the losses, I had hits and kills and survived to the end, just time ran out. Thanks for this video.

Thank you for this informative video. I just recently acquired the cachalot sub and been playing it when I am home. And thank you for your service. Bless you brother.

Well planned and informative presentation- thanks. In 14 minutes I learned I am doing everything wrong !

First in a series of videos, How Best to Punch an Orphan, How to Ignite a Nun, Best Wheelchairs to Steal and many more!:-)

THIS IS IT!!!!!!!!!!!! FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! JESUS HEARD MY PLEDGES, FINALLY ONE PERSON THAT UNDERSTANDS WHY AND HOW TO PLAY SUBS, YOU ARE EVEN USING REAL WW2 TACTICS JUST AS YOU SHOULD, THANK YOU, I HAVE FOUND A REAL BROTHER

Thank you for all the advice on subs, greatly appreciated, I’ll be using them the next time I’m on that game

Can't beat'em may as well join them. Thanks for the pointers.

I'm a sub player and I'm in awe with this video, no wonder I've been dying like an idiot... You helped me more than you know, subscribed!

Thank you for posting this, very good knowledge to know!

Thank you! Feeling inspired!

This is really going to help thanks!

Thank you for the tips and tricks.

This seems more like a mechanics only video, while it doesn’t really explain what matchups you want to avoid, as submarines are heavily countered by other submarines and sonars, so you want to know what ships have sonar, and simply evade them at max depth if they ever target you. A rule of thumb is all german ships have sonar. And all cruisers. With a few destroyers that you might want to learn by heart. The best approach is to stay clear of a flank where they have a sonar destroyer or submarine. These tricks are nice, but most often pre-pinging enemies isn’t a great tactic, as they’ll just turn away. Instead, I’d suggest shooting the torpedoes at the predicted location of an enemy, and when the torps are 6 km from their target, ping the enemy centre. This way they don’t have enough time to evade, and your torpedoes avoid slight misses. Pinging should only be done beyond 7 km range, as you’ll otherwise take a lot of damage from depth charge planes. Instead dumbfire torpedoes, even if you miss, at least you won’t give away your location at such a close distance. Only use the alternative torpedoes on battleships and carriers.

Hey, this is the first video I have seen in your channel, I like subs, can't play that often but I will implement your technics. Thank, subbed.

Nice info on parallel tactic. I’m a sub main player and enjoy the planning of the attacks!

Excellent training video good procedure!! Subscribed.

thank you for this video, finally some real tips on how to play submarine instead of people just showing off their kills.

Decades, guess we are both old salts. Been 6 of them since I first stood for colors at 0800. Thisn old jarhead SGT says thatnks for a good video.

I'm also beginning to seriously doubt the claims of these amazing homing torpedoes. My U-69 more often than naught just misses outright despite double pinging. destroyers, cruisers and battleships juke them easily if they are heading straight for you. It only works when they are running away in the opposite direction or have their repair down.

Excellent video, I got a T8 Salmon sometime ago, but I had no idea how to leverage it for more impact, so thanks very much!

Thanks for the great information.

Fantastic tips. This information should help me survive longer. Maybe I can send a captain or two more to Davy Jones locker 🐙🏴‍☠️☠️

it is now the time for me to play Subs, I hate them playing surface ships but like they say "if you can't beat 'em, join 'em"

yeah good tips and tricks! Thanks! Too many just play at random

Thanks a lot. I haven't been playing much at all since subs came in so this helps. I actually have no idea how close I need to be to lay an effective DC attack, and embarassingly, I have no idea what "shot-gunning" actually means.

Well that was interesting. I don't play subs much, don't like them much but when i do play them i suck. Watched this just out of interest and had one game. First try i killed a destroyer at the longest range after he had seen the torpedo's coming and gone to hide behind an island. Ended up with 2 kills and we lost, i had a destroyer and 2 other ships onto me at close range. They could not touch me until i ran out of battery.

Really good explanation keep up the good work. Might try subs myself now.

The best sub player I've seen so far.

Very helpful, subd for more on this topic.

This is the best Sub video... I've had so many salty ship players eating my torps using this

Gamer from Québec here, thx for the video

The only thing this video has taught me is to better hunt you. Godspeed

Great teaching video new to this

More good advice from someone who actually likes playing subs. Nice video, thanks!!

Can't wait for WT's implementation of subs. It will be more fun yet easier without all the extra acradey stuff.

Im a DD player grinding to unlock subs but i now know how to play subs but also hunt them better

loved the video. Im loving the subs. im not great in them but i enjoy them and this helps a lot.

That was one of the best "how to sub" videos I've seen. Now I want to really try to get better at it. Also, how did you get into a training match?

awesome information thank you,

I had no idea the homing would change trajectory that extreme. This sir, is game changing for me.

On sub vs. dd situation I always go for shotgun kill. Especially early in game. Killing one dd and surviving (even with 20% hp) gives my team advantage, becouse opposing team now have one spotter less. If my hp is extreamly low after that encounter I always may snipe bbs from more then 6-8 km (outside their deph bomb radius). But I had no idea that torps may manouver that much that You shown in this video. Great stuff!

Solid. Mahalo

Very good video. Long time player. Hate subs as most of us do. Got two of them in crates so might as well learn to use them and how to counter them. This is very helpful. Thanks for posting!

Hi I really like this video and I learned a lot can you do a video on how to play Japanese sub I 56 please and thank you

Great video

Nice video, but you havent addressed the most common issue here. "SONAR HAS BEEN CLEARED" which basically is, you throw torps, 2-3km before reaching target they clear sonar, torps lose target of course and then you end up with a bunch of planes airdropping you because you gave away your position. And trust me those demonic light cruisers will hunt you through enemy battleship fire just to get you!!! Also torpedoes for some forsaking reason lose track if the ship is out of your visibility even though he might have a sonar lock. Also we have NO COUNTERMEASURES

Thanks

My torpedoes don't stay linked to the ping location. When I shoot they start of with a little green line from the nose of the torp to the ping on the ship, then they lose it. I'm shooting from depth, so I don't know if that's the problem, but it sucks. All distances, from nearly shaking hands to 7-8 km. Any thoughts? Driving the S-189 if that matters.

Is there a vid or link that explains how a complete beginner to subs can use them? I don't really get how they are used and want to see if it's something that will appeal to me before getting a sub.

excellent

BUT now they have learn how to dodge my torps .. That is big game changer against Subs...

Love the video but still struggling: 1. Games are too short; most last 10 minutes. Getting into position takes time. By the time on the enemy flank, the game is half over without me being able to do much if any damage. This is especially true for maps with many islands dotted around; which leads me to the next point. 2. Islands are huge impediments to my torpedoes. I do try and curve them around but it usually ends up in failure. 3. Most ships are smart enough to clear the ping right when the torpedoes are detected and then they maneuver out; so the salvo is wasted. I guess I could try pinging until they clear it and then launch but that's still wasted time if I'm at max range which I can ill afford to waste when other vessels begin closing in since subs are #1 targets. 4. A lot of positioning on the flanks takes up valuable battery time unless I immediately move out of my starting point. However, I am denying my team crucial intel on enemy positions, especially when I'm at I'm spawned in a group without a destroyer nearby to scout. 5. one of the biggest reasons I struggle is because I'm not good at pinging ships further than 9km. It's even harder for me vs enemy subs I spot that dive deep. Maybe you can do a tutorial on accurate pinging. Almost impossible with hydro up unless ships are REAL close because ship movements aren't displayed in real time. 6. Is it just me or are aft torpedoes in the U-69 super inaccurate compared to bow torpedoes? They appear to take a lot longer to curve in when fired at 90 degrees. 7. Most maps begins with sub vs subs within the first 3 minutes due to all subs spawning in opposite ends of the map. Would be more fun if they were spawned on opposite corners. The biggest complaint really is 1. Submarine mechanics of stealth, evasion and positioning is ponderous in length compared to other ships, which world of warships is geared towards in terms of pacing. Not nearly long enough for a 10 minute game. The second biggest is sub vs sub. It's not only NOT fun but we all end up wasting battery time going deep to avoid a lock on one another instead of hunting surface ships. When sub surveillance is up, we both activate it, giving away everyone's positions on the map and subsequently that ends up with both subs dead as we take incoming from DDs depth charges and bombers. I especially despise maps with six subs. Looking forward to watching more of your content.

I’ve played 12 games died twice both times through my own stupidity. What I have trouble is getting round the map. 80% of the time every ship I’m going for dies before I get there.

Do all subs have homing torps? I just got the British Undine T6. Trying to learn how to play it but it’s a bit tricky atm.

About 20 matches in a sub. My biggest issue is battery conservation. I get in and get torpedoes on target but 2:36 is t enough to get out again without having to surface and take major damage. Averaging one ship sunk a match so this is a limiting factor for me. Suggestions?

Seems I don't get the reaction with the torps like you do when I shoot them. Double ping and still doesn't seem the torps curve. The torps seem to just dissappear instead of turning back to the target. I've also seen people recommend commanders but I searched and couldn't find any sub commanders, only showed cruiser commanders. Your tips have helped me improve game play. I'm still struggling under water to hit targets after rarely seeing the grayed ships. Also have a problem with subs, nothing on radar nothing showing and I get a random ping and I'm dead.

Great video, can you post builds please? There is zero reaources available for correct builds for different subs.

This video is helpful but i still cant get hold on the subs. I survive the battles but everytime i launch my torpedos the ship im firing at turns and the torpedos miss. Even when i use my solar i feel like im just giving away my positon because the torps turn a couple degrees at the slightest and give up. Then the ships i was aiming at fire 5 depthstrike planes and im dead. What can i do better to prevent this

I've gotten good in subs by just not pushing too far and fighting in reverse. Too many times I see sub captains push and die relatively early

I looking for the vid which tells us how to make sure that all subs die, quick and horrible deaths.

Unfortunately every time i throw torps they always have DCP up and i only get about 5 torp hits per game despite following this video to the letter.

My torps dont seem to track half as good. Ill keep practicing but i dont see my win ratio increasing at all

I dont know but i play sub for few weeks, and somehow all ships just neutralized sonar ping very often, its not like in training room, where ships just standing and not moving anywhere.

Want a real tip for dealing with moving targets that can speed juke or out turn your torps as a sub? Just slightly under lead you torps and ping the rudder section of the ship. Very High chance you will hit. The only way to avoid is to time Dcp correctly, stop and turn in simultaneously; but you become a sitting Duck as a surface ship.

ITS THE HAPPY SUNNY PLACE FOR ME!!1! >.

I just started playing and just got a sub. More often than not, my torpedoes lose their lock. Is there something I am missing? (Other than the shot 😅)

Very helpful info on how to play and “counter” subs. Should have had Navy Chick use a BB. ;)

Yeah just hate subs but this vid is good to help with counter sub tactics.

I'm trying to play U-69, but somehow almost everybody is able to dodge my homed torps, even BBs and even if I ping after launching torps. That homing cut-off distance is screwing me really bad. Many people say that homed torpedos are unavoidable and free damage for a sub, but in my experience they are extremely easily dodgeable if you know what you are doing. Hell, today I was chasing a BB and he dodged all my homed torps for almost 10 minutes straight. Couldn't land even one.

OMg what - wait so can the torps on the T6 do the same

Did they change the way the Subs operate? I just can't get a fix on how to play them. Almost every round I end up being detected by some random destroyer or sub that lights me up up and then dumps DC's all over my head. I follow the "run on the surface as much as possible model" but that just seems to not be working. Also, my torps NEVER hit. I can ping a target all day and my torp will miss 90% of the time, they certainly aren't bending around islands. My dummy fire torps are just laughable. Granted, this is all VERY realistic historically speaking since (especially America's) early torps had a nasty habit of detonating early and alerting EVERYONE, missing, not detonating at all, or looping around and sinking the submarine. It's to the point where I just run co-op to try various strategies, but good lord Co-op is unforgiving for subs.

My torps cant lock on at a 90 degree angle. U-2501. Need 45 degrees.

im a little confused on the destroyer vs submarine depth charge part. That didnt really simulate what would actually happen. The destroyer would be overtop of you when he dropped. not going straight. i die alot more from destroyer DC attacks than anything else.

Can you enter a fight at periscope depth and not be spotted?

"Single Column! Single Column!"

Any idea when they will release coal, steel and super subs?

Easier said than done 😀

😊

Great tips, keep this content coming.

is this still valid in may 2024, or something changed?

Does this work for lower tiers, too?

"How not to get killed/How not to get airdropped" - Why am I in this video? /s

To be honest I have been playing subs like the German subs and pretty much for the most part is easy mode, destroyers and cruisers DCP action time is useless at stopping a sub from pinging them non stop. I destroyed two gunboat DDs in a single cap while being 5km to 3km away from said destroyers, and they can not hide when their DCP is on cooldown and The ping reveals their position periodically.

OMG GTFO ,Squid you just saved my 6 , I was bitching for days about getting airdropped, it was all in my poor execution of pings and launches w

Is this available on xbox series x

Are submarines just a big inside-joke? Like, I've tried the german t6 one and out of 4 salvos not a single hit a double-marked ship that was 9km away (torps are 11km range). What's with all the community whining about them being OP and unfair? XD

Please follow

How to play Subs with BROKEN HOMING PIECE OF DING?!?! Its ridiculous. Making me want to quit in the middle of the match.

I am an elite sub commander and I can say without a doubt that this training was nearly a disinformation for young sub players to prevent them from becoming skillful with their subs. The only thing that is actually useful is torpedo curving explanation. The rest is gibberish that has no real-game repetition

Nope.

delet ur channel

Sub's = boring and destroying the game. STOP playing subs
