Anyone have any thoughts on the sub war against AI in current iteration?

My current build up for last few playthroughs has been a total of 6-8 sub groups and i have gotten around the same results each time in convoy kills.

The current game has me having 7 subs since mid 1940, see pic

29 sub losses, for 254 merchants seems eh...

thats a 700 production point loss (or a little bit more if reinforcements increase in cost based on upgrades, which they should) for germans, for a merchant cost for allies of 2540 production. so around 3.5-4 to 1 kill ratio against AI which seemingly does not pump escorts out effectively.

Edit to add- yes you are correct this isnt a human, and a human will have far better anti sub tactics. we agree. thanks.

Yes a human will have better results.

In SC I can decimate A.I. convoys too.

yes but does the AI build convoy escorts to counteract the human sub war? it builds some but maybe not enough?

It does. In this new patch I improved on how it handles convoy escorts.

Good, the UK AI could use some love regarding convoys/escorts.
