Hello, my brothers in arms!
Today, I take you beneath the icy ocean waves, into the presence of one who feeds on salt and steel: the SBM-2 "Shark" submarine!
Military history buffs will immediately notice how much this model recalls the military submarines of World War II, and indeed, it is inspired by them.
When technology was still secondary to human courage, the intrepid sailors who sailed the depths in the belly of this metallic monster laid the foundations for a new type of warfare: submarine warfare.
Underwater battles are much slower and more strategic than surface battles, where every submarine and every ship is a piece in a great chess game.
In my game, I'm trying to convey this abysmal slowness, this alternate passage of time, where the soldier will be enveloped in solitude and darkness, but it won't be that easy, as it will be part of a much faster gameplay.
As always, I'll do my best!
The Shark is a large submarine with two crew members.
Don't be fooled by the fact that it's "vintage," otherwise you'll soon be joining the fish.
The helmsman will be in command of the vessel and will be able to launch the fearsome torpedoes from six launch tubes. Furthermore, he will have a dual 12.7 mm machine gun, designed primarily for anti-aircraft defense (yes, there are torpedo bombers too!), but also very useful for dispatching small surface enemies.
The second crew member will also have the same machine gun, located on the rear, and a powerful 105 mm cannon. Obviously, this weapon won't be able to fire while submerged, but it will prove to be a powerful weapon against surface targets, such as small ships, boats, and hostile marine life. It could also prove excellent for sinking larger ships if they're already dead and you want to save your precious torpedoes.
Speaking of torpedoes!
This game features several types of torpedoes, from the more classic to the more technologically advanced; the type of torpedo carried will depend on the type of vessel.
In this case, the Shark carries classic torpedoes, the slow and inexorable ones that only move in the direction they are launched.
Although they lack autonomous target-finding capabilities, they have the great advantage of being inexpensive, which means they can be transported in large numbers before returning to refuel.
In "Home Wars: Battlefield," there will be several types of submarines, including strategic ones for hitting land targets, but these will be revealed gradually as development progresses.
For now, enjoy these preview images and share your thoughts and suggestions in the comments.
