I know it's cool to be a hero of justice and "fix problems" but actually think about it for a second. Submarines in this game are completely underdeveloped, an afterthought to counter things that hide in the water, take no real skill to use, take no real skill to deal damge, and are entirely boring to use and watch. Is buffing subarmines into viability actually healthy for the state of the game? Don't ruin the fun of the game in some blind crusade to "fix things" and be a hero.
Like I already said, we are currently hiding from submarines being op behind this broken mechanic, they already are OP, there is just this mechanic keeping that OPness from breaking the game, mechanic should be removed (because it shouldnt exist in first place) and then submarines nerfed into balance once their real power shows after that bugfix.
They may have been underdeveloped and an afterthought, but that doesnt mean we should keep them as such (and this bug along to counter them) when we can in fact fix both. This goes for everything in supcom.
