>NO devs clearly said no submarine implementation as they wouldn't be fun to fight
Meh,
They just haven't found a way yet to make cool looking wreck
Or the UI to detect then select submarines as a target, since their positions would be approximate.

The submarines could surface as they get too damaged.
Or the submarine could be surfacing in the first place, needing torpedo mostly because (most) missiles could explode in the water without hitting it.

I could imagine
- a hint (missile surfacing out of nowhere) tell where you should drop single-use sonar
- it immediately transmits the submarine position
- helicopter or aircraft then urge to deploy air-dropped torpedoes, who find their target themselves
- helicopters getting an edge because it can constantly raise/lower a sonar and tell which sub have been destroyed
- on damage the submarines desperately try to surface and become easy target
Also the submarine would only use IR missiles defense because they can't use radar guided ones.

But no luck if the devs aren't convinced.
I'm just hoping the "utility helicopter" get good uses.
I can imagine them not wanting to accidentally make the Chicane inferior by providing something with more missiles and faster speed.
But it could be balanced in other ways.
