Overview

The Submarine, also known as the Sub, is an original researchable naval unit from The Conquerors 3 added in the Naval Expansion Update. The Submarine has the unique ability to submerge by pressing N, making it invisible to enemy radars and enemy units, at the cost of not being able to attack. Submarines cannot be attacked by any units except for Submarines, when ascended, and Destroyer, regardless if it is submerged or not.

Submarines will self-destruct if they are the only remaining units on a team, since their cloaking ability inhibits them from being destroyed and causing a stalemate.

Usage

Submarines can silently take out Oil Rigs, Fleets, and Ports, leaving unscathed, making them effective at establishing naval supremacy. The only real threat to Submarines are Destroyers and other Submarines, in which case, requires a fleet composed of Battleships, Destroyers and/or, Aircraft Carriers.

It becomes mostly useless outside of naval supremacy, since it can only target ships, buildings, and troops that are close to shore due to its pitiful range.

Strategy

• A full fleet of destroyers can win against a full fleet of submarines, heavily damaged. This makes destroyers extremely useful even if the enemy has a full submarine fleet.
• Another strategy is to use Subs to escort Aircraft Carriers, alongside Battleships and Destroyers, as the submarine is affected by the Aircraft Carrier's 25% Damage Buff, this allows it to quickly take down entire fleets or ports undetected.
• Due to the low research time, submarines can be quickly researched early on and built to rush or destroy their naval fleet or port; provided they do not make a Destroyer or Submarine.

Trivia

• The Submarine was only in The Conquerors 3.
• It is the third fastest unit in the game, and the fastest unit produced by the Naval Shipyard.
• It's price was reduced from $150 to $110 during the Naval Balance Update.
• Players are able to see its health bar when damaged, even if its submerged.
• There is a cooldown between submerging and ascending submarines.
