Message "sub attacking on surface" pops up, and then nothing.

Any reported surface attacks in 1.3?

I'm "micromanaging" my subs and sending them out in groups of at least two as an experiment. It's working pretty well so far. I used to let the computer run my subs, but was unsatisfied with the results.

Status: offline 		I have not seen a single sucesful Sub Surface attack in 4 wks of game time. Before the 1.3 patch I was killing barges all the time. I wonder if it has to do with save game vs new game.

I've also seen Jap carriers attack with no fighters on cap or escort, when I re-loaded the game as Jap human player I saw all of the fighters on the Jap carriers set to training?

yep I micro my subs too. When I let the AI handle them they always seemed to be in transit between Noumea and Truk when there's good hunting much closer to home. I still send boats to Truk from time to time just to mix things up.

I like the wolf-pack concept a lot. It seems to be effective and it's easier to manage.
