How to play with modern warship submarines: A guide to playing submarines in the Modern Warships mobile game

Submarines, playfully referred to as "underwater little men" by players, are the underwater ghosts in naval battles, capable of suddenly delivering a big surprise. Submarines are the most strategically deep and operationally demanding type of warship. So, how exactly do you play with modern warship submarines? This issue will bring you a tutorial on playing submarines in the mobile game Modern Warships. Unlike carriers or destroyers that emphasize air control and firepower suppression, submarines rely on stealth, timing, and torpedo bursts to dismantle opponents. This guide delves into submarine gameplay in paragraph form, covering operational mechanisms, tactical deployment, target selection, advanced outfitting, and typical combat strategies, helping players master the core skills of these "underwater assassins."

[Operational Mechanisms]

The control and navigation mechanism of submarines is completely different from that of other surface ships. It can not only move left and right but also dive up and down, avoiding active detection by enemy sonar through this dimension. Mastering the rhythm of diving and surfacing correctly allows players to hide in the path of enemy ships and launch surprise attacks at critical moments. Newbies need to use the dive button or joystick on the interface to adjust the submarine's depth, staying out of the opponent's radar range to attack or evade from the best detection position.

The main weapons of submarines are torpedoes and a few missiles. Unlike multi-weapon warships, playing a submarine mostly requires controlling just one launch button, then letting the torpedo automatically track the target. The key to precise launches lies in predicting the enemy ship's course in advance, accurately gauging the distance and angle, to maximize the probability of a hit. When facing large warships, it is recommended to take advantage of diving depth and terrain cover, launching the first strike within 3000–4000 meters.

[Tactical Deployment]

Submarine tactics heavily emphasize "ambush and survival output." They excel at breaking the formation of large carrier battle groups by diving to avoid sonar rather than charging headlong into the enemy. In practice, players can first locate the enemy ship's route, waiting for it to separate from its escort before striking. After launching, immediately dive and change direction to evade sonar tracking, then wait for another ambush. Especially in open seas or map corners, submarines can repeatedly dive and resurface, completing multiple torpedo bursts, which are highly tactically intimidating.

[Submarine Outfitting]

Different types of submarines have different roles. Attack submarines (like the Ohio) are equipped with both torpedoes and missiles, have a shallow nuclear diving depth but are highly maneuverable. They are suitable for frequently switching targets and harassing the enemy's core ships. Strategic submarines (like Type 096, 094), on the other hand, mainly carry submarine-launched missiles and are suitable for long-range tactical support or area control. However, they are more vulnerable in close combat and are not recommended for solo penetration into the enemy fleet. In team composition, if you prefer "small, fast, and agile," you can focus on attack submarines; if you prefer rear support, strategic submarines should be prioritized.

Equipment and outfitting are key to enhancing submarine power. The 62-type torpedo combined with a countermeasure silencer is recommended; the former can cause 40,000 damage in 1 second, while the latter can quickly escape sonar threats, enabling a second round of attacks. If you prefer a protracted battle, you can also use the P-900 Alpha missile as a supplement to the torpedo, suitable for medium to short-range naval combat. Additionally, the RUM-139 swarm anti-submarine missile combined with an active sonar system can greatly improve anti-reconnaissance efficiency, allowing your submarine to effectively suppress enemy ships at medium to short ranges.

[Combat Strategies]

Advanced players using submarines need to master the tactical rhythm of "time and space," trying to complete ambushes before the peak of team support in the map, coordinating with the team to maximize the kill benefit. At the same time, pay attention to team support; submarines should not go it alone, especially in mid-to-late game attrition battles, where the torpedo burst of submarines can determine victory or defeat, but they are also easily targeted by enemy American helicopters or anti-submarine missiles. Reasonably utilizing team suppression and protection mechanisms is key to increasing the submarine's survival rate and output efficiency.

This concludes the introduction on how to play modern warship submarines. Submarines are both a "game-changer" and a "stealthy assassin." While they require high skill and environmental awareness, once mastered, they can single-handedly alter the course of the battle. It is recommended that interested players gradually practice submarine operations, improving their skills and timing judgment through videos and practical drills. I hope this guide helps everyone better understand submarines and become the feared underwater ghost.
