Subs

So with this new update are all the subs and all the thing that go with them (i.e. sonar) just going to be completely removed from the game?

For now until they resolve the issues with them.

Thanks. I am glad that they are not being removed total form the game.

If anything, a sub yard at the basic or advanced level would be frigging sweet.

I don't think that would be so good....

That is fair I guess, any reason in particular however?

I'm dreaming about Tactical Nuclear Submarines... but so far it's just a dream.

I would like someone from Uber to comment (Garat or Mavor..) on this. Are subs in or out?

not really a dream since the first Alpha build featured them even though they never got the nukes.
My icon pack always had them with a permanently yellow nuke icon.

Subs are being temporarily removed because they are in a broken state, and it will take a lot of work to fix. They could be postponed for a while, but they will be in at some point.

Subs are definitely a great thing to have in the naval theater. Too bad about the technical issues, hope they get fixed soon.

from the build note:

If you're going to have dedicated sub factories, I'd say you'd need a submarine layer. Otherwise you might as well just group them with boats.

I think subs and ships should be one in the same.

It would be nice to have that confirmed by Uber. The fact they removed them even in their current state is a bit worrying.

Subs WILL be back

It is hardly unusual for them to remove a broken feature until they can fix it.

They removed the whole lava biome for a few builds to work on it a few months ago.

Personally I've come to the conclusion that subs just aren't needed. They will probably make another appearance but I think we are going to continue balancing the game without them. Naval is already kinda screwy so once we get that sorted we will take another look at subs.

Thanks for the reply. As you have said before, nothing is really required, but I always liked subs and amphibious units for surprise attacks.

Aw. ... but the possibilities of mobile tactical nuke launchers!
