Default Suggestion for a future patch

It would be nice to have anti-submarine warfare added to Il-2. Currently we have no depth charges or mines. These could be added to the weaponry of aircraft and ships. Also submarines aren't very visible under water. The only thing we see now is the periscope. It would be nice to be able to spot subs by seeing their cigar shaped silhouette in the water when they're not too deep.

Anti-submarine warfare could be an interesting scenario for Il-2 in the Pacific and North Sea. What do you guys think?

I second that.
I can imagine nice scenarios for Med and Black Seas as well. And for Atlantic convoy/sub wars - on Pacific maps of IL2.

Big deal!
Variability on the kind of missions you can develope bring more to the game than any new flyable.

Being an actual dolphin wearer I have mixed feelings on this. Could be fun though. And defiantly would add new scenarios.
But how would you go about getting depth on the submarines you are trying to depth charge? And perhaps would require some Japanese and other navy submarine types currently not in game. (Like Royal Navy, Regia Marina, maybe Finland as well.)
Still think a flyable allied torpedo bomber would be a good addition (TBD Devastator). Would allow all the early aircraft carrier matchups to be complete.
For now I shall continue to enjoy sitting in my bombardiers seat and bombing ground targets. Its quite fun.

I think Do-217s were also used for delivering depth charges and mines. Dont know if they were E or later K/M models though...
