This isn't your typical stealth-focused sub. The Surcouf is a massive outlier in the meta, trading away acoustic homing torpedoes for a pair of 203mm main guns. While it boasts a hefty HP pool for its class, its underwater offensive capabilities are limited, making it play more like a submersible cruiser that specializes in surface-level ambushes rather than traditional underwater hunting.
To unlock the Surcouf, players must navigate a 100-point progression track in the Armory. You can earn Progress Points by spending Coal and economic bonuses. For those running low on Coal, Wargaming has enabled a temporary Steel-to-Coal exchange at a ratio of 100 Steel to 1,000 Coal, available until the end of Update 15.2.
Mid-Tier Rewards and Technical Perks
The Surcouf isn't the only prize on the line. Along the way, players can secure the Italian battleship Marcantonio Colonna. This vessel is particularly interesting for tactical players due to its low detectability and the inclusion of an Enhanced Exhaust Smoke Generator, allowing for aggressive repositioning or a quick disengagement when the heat gets too high.
- X Surcouf: High HP, dual 203mm guns, no homing torpedoes.
- Marcantonio Colonna: Stealthy BB with Enhanced Exhaust Smoke.
- Resource Exchange: Steel can be converted to Coal to speed up progress.
The event is time-sensitive and will conclude on March 11 at 04:00 AM local time. If you've been sitting on a mountain of Coal or economic bonuses, now is the time to decide if the Surcouf's unconventional gun-focused gameplay fits your fleet's needs.
