I "love" the fact that my Jean Beart has ASW range of 5 km at Tier 9...

[gaufrid]

What they really need to fix is throwing a couple of poor Tier IX ships into a battle where there are three supeships per team, and the rest are Tier X.

[jamiemaclean]

I have a Massachusetts, but stopped playing it in favour of the Alabama, due to the short range ASW. I also have an Ohio which is also 'knee-capped' in its ASW range (6km instead of the normal 11km). The Pommern, with its great secondaries gets 10km range. War Gaming's reasons are illogical.

[philcharles]

Thunderer too. I've adjusted my gameplay with all ships where I face a +4 km differential with a sub - I'll just drive to the other flank if I spawn on the same side as a sub. Fun and engaging.

Hi, Sea Lord Mountbatten, I am a wows player and a big fan of yours! Love your videos. Keep up this wows content!😃😃

[QuantumShock]

5:48 Perfect example of what playing this game in 2023 feels like

[sonnenwende]

That game is not World of "Warships". This is World of CVs and Subs.

[quor]

I can see having various ranges on ASW if a ship has other decent ways of attacking or evading subs, but the ranges should be between 8 km and 12 km, never any less on any tier.

[feloniousteabagger]

I love the Mass. Very strong ship and its a total drag having to deal with a sub when you are all alone. It is no fun for me when the only thing I can do is die.

[cshan]

What doesn't actually make sense is that Georgia, a ship order than the Ohio, gets 10 KM ASW while Ohio, a newer ship compared to Georgia, gets like 6 KM ASW

[hideshisface]

"When submarine is spotted it gets dogpiled"
So is a destroyer, so is a cruiser, so is a lone battleship. Because it is a threat that is in range.

The only reason it is so visible on subs is because it is yet another class, behind carriers that bypasses typical core game mechanics and can actively be countered only another gimmick ability (ASW in this case), instead of actual player skill.
This means the ability itself becomes 1 or 0 deal, exactly like AAA. It either works well and makes a sub useless, or it doesn't work and gives the victim of a submarine the impression that nothing they do works.

[Cerberus]

Thats why i subscribed back there in the first place 👍
Historical educating, very Useful tips, and funny quotes like "..rip that sub a new one 😂"
You have to like that Mate 😁👍

[johnnyenglish]

I think this ASW range is some sort of oversight by Wargaming, I don't think human beings can be so stupid as to do this by design.

[stevepeterson]

They really REALLY need to get rid of subs and CVs in random and ranked. They can create a new wartype called Randoms-That-Suck that have CVs and subs in it.

[NineBreakertwo]

i like playing support roles in multiplayer games, let me spec into better ASW, a skill that extends the range would be great, even better if it was a part of the existing anti-aircraft specialization stuff. Sometimes cruiser ASW feels too short, or add some destroyer specific ASW improvements so they can hunt Subs better if they choose to do that, seems like it would be very flavorful and historically inspired.

[TuanHoang-tbxe]

Just outright remove the homing gimmick and sub still OP AF🥴

[kingofcastlechaos]

All the ASW needs to be revisited. I am going through my 556 ships one by one to get their win rates up (masochistic to be sure) and am having my mind blown at some of the port queens lack of ASW. Leone for example is a DD with ZERO ASW. That was a hilarious battle when I caught a sub out and then in a circle holding my...joystick like a tool and doing nothing to the sub. OMG it sucked.

[valharris]

I played two games while watching the video and sank a submarine in each game. With the Massa B. ^^ (Which doesn't happen often in general.)
But yeah, that shit needs to be fixed. And in general you should always be able to fight submarines at the distances at which they can attack.

[Darman-inmt]

The WOW folks need to have a 10 K ASW for all tier 8 and Lower. It is hard fighting Subs in the Mass. Many times I turn tale and run like Hell. Some times you get away. Hope WOW will listen to this Vid. Another good vid. So folks Over and Out.

[grahamfox]

It's quite simple, these are PREMIUM ships, WG don't want you buying old premiums, they want you buying new ones. There are many older premiums both removed and still in game with this short range ASW. It's aimed at discouraging you to plum for older premiums as their development costs and sales projections have already been met and in most cases exceeded.

Bottom line is every decision WG make always comes down to money. They devalue older ship's with stealth nerfs, and power creep, as well as create a problem to sell the solution sales tactics, so you can't just sit happily on your old ship but feel the pressure to buy the latest and greatest ship's to compete.

Your over thinking most of WG's choices. It's all about getting players to buy the latest must haves by using any predatory tactics necessary.
