In my first learning game against the AI I have dispatched 10-something subs to interdict shipping between Formosa and the PI. My subs have been very successful. In fact, Im starting to wonder if they are too successful. These are the sub attacks in one day. Now, granted, I could have been lucky to have my subs positioned in the exactly right spot, and this could be a factor of poor AI-use of ASW escorts. Thoughts, opinions? Also, I have had two subs commit suicide by attacking transports on the surface, only to be hit by some crappy old gun on the xAK. quote:
