Air support & ASW inside the support radius vastly improves ASW.

Patience.

Air cover really does sink subs. I have lost 3 as allies by July '43.

If you know ones there, saturation vastly improves number AND quality of ASW attacks.  Three hard hits on a sub, and she either pops up to be sunk by gunfire or sinks next turn.

Put those destroys with a RN carrier and have a field day.

Nah, the AI is stupid enough to keep using Manila for a sub base even when you have air superiority. I've sunk 8 subs by March '42 in my current game, all from the AI parking them at Manila...when I took Manila, I lost my sub sinking trump card.

Really? I've got 3 ASW TFs, one with Hermes and her Swordfish, one with 3 Corvettes and the other with 4 trying to get rid of the pesky little IJN sub hanging around Columbo and they have only engaged 3 times, with no apparent hits, between 8 & 31 Dec 41. Or is it that the RN Corvettes are not as good as the DDs?

Status: offline 		It's really the DD, I've had a single 4x DD group from the RN destroy 2 subs and heavily damage a third (subject to FOW) in a little under 2 weeks near Sydney. Hudsons flew ASW patrols overhead. After that my opponent simply withdrew his subs from the area.

Make sure the aggressive rating of your skippers are high, I noticed when giving DD skippers an Aggressive rating over 65 they seem to pretty much kamakazi every sub in sight.

Well, I hope it doesn't turn out for your ASW skippers the same as it does for the kamakazi pilots.
