The Hypothesis Of Underwater Combat (Submarines)

There are none in the game at the moment, but we can anticipate possible scenarios

for the development of weapons in the game, provided that the game has drones like in the first part.

We know about missiles and torpedoes. But you know that they can be combined, right?

The Navy often possesses missiles that deliver small torpedoes

over considerable distances and, naturally, quickly.

This method is effective when fighting between submarines at long distances.

The main dangers for submarines have always been aircraft.

Small aircraft with outboard torpedoes will always be the standard and cheap anti-submarine means. The only thing to do is

to hit a submarine, it is necessary to detect it beforehand.

Disposable buoys with repeaters can also be used for this purpose. This will work

provided that underwater detection tools are added to the game.

Which have efficiency depending, for example, on the sensor size.

Example: A small aircraft with four torpedoes, eight buoys, and a sensor on the piston

for lowering under water. Such a device will be effective for the defense of surface

ships with constant movement.

It is natural to assume that the main danger to submarines are

torpedoes and powerful depth charges directly dropped over the water

by an aircraft.

Speed and depth can be used to protect against depth charges, but

with torpedoes there are two simple options.

The first option is a decoy, which will attract automatic,

Homing weapons. Naturally, torpedoes can be manually operated,

this option is possible.

There is a second option for this case. Miniature torpedoes for self-defense

with the necessary amount of explosives to stop an enemy torpedo.

(Such systems also exist in real life, since modern torpedoes

have various means of guidance, including wake tracking.)

The main task of protective torpedoes is not range and operating time, not speed,

but cheapness, compactness and quantity.

The second option is especially viable if there are no turrets underwater that

could operate in an underwater environment.

There are other weapons options that can be installed by submarines

and destroyers. Mobile mines. Unlike torpedoes that have speed,

mobile mines have battery life and long-range target detection.

Their devices can be simple, in fact ordinary torpedoes, as well as special ones.

The design of the special ones can be different, including the presence of an anchor made of

batteries to maintain the operating time.

Such mines are especially effective in shallow waters. Can be compatible with generators,

such as an underwater generator, wind turbine, solar panels.

A more complex option may be a platform for storing torpedoes, with the ability

to launch them. At the same time, have generators, a living compartment and a landing pad.

But not to be a base, but rather as a fort.

At the same time, it can have many thin shields underwater to prematurely

detonate enemy torpedoes.

Everything written suggests the presence of detection tools in the game.

If they don't exist, then it's more likely the same as in space, with the only difference

being that the speeds may be lower, and the range of visibility is like that of a mole.

I am an inexperienced player myself,

I would like to know the opinion of avid players and not only.
