I thought subs and ship units had to be in Fleet mode to directly attack other ships, but I guess this is only to attack by interception/interdiction within a 5 hex radius.
From the screen shot above, the selected sub fleet can indeed attack an enemy fleet while in raider mode. My questions are: 1) Does this mean the defending fleet is in fleet mode? 2)Could it be attacked too like this if it were in raider mode? 3a)Does a sub, or a surface fleet for that matter, in raider mode do less damage attacking a fleet that it can reach to attack, than it could if it were set to fleet mode first? 3b)Does it matter what mode the defending fleet is in? 4)What are the consequences of being in fleet mode in terms of what can directly attack the sub back (i.e., losses due to the defending ships fighting back) or in the next turn by land-based air versus being in raider mode? I suppose it would still just be land-based air units in range that could attack it next turn, right? Also, sub units would not be attacking any convoys in fleet mode (even if on a convoy lane) so they would also not be attacked by escorts or with the bonus of having a CV or DD group on the convoy lane, right? I'm still trying to figure out the naval game... Thanks, C
