2Stepper -> Amusing Combat result (1.795) (2/23/2006 5:06:02 AM)
Is this a bug? Probably not... What it IS however is the first time in umpteen games where I've seen a sub get swatted by a DD group on the surface. Sub attack at 63,81 Japanese Ships DD Ikazuchi DD Shikinami DD Ariake DD Yugure DD Wakaba DD Hatsuharu DD Suzukaze DD Shiratsuyu DD Oshio DD Arashi Allied Ships SS Cachalot, hits 3 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Followed by... Sub attack at 63,81 Japanese Ships DD Amagiri DD Ushio DD Sazanami DD Akebono Allied Ships SS Cachalot, hits 53, Torpedo hits 1, on fire, heavy damage -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Waiting for a feedback from my PBEM partner, but I suspect this was a bogus encounter. Despite my being the IJN player, I had a hard time believing that I was seeing this. [:D][X(] Thoughts anyone?

Kamikaze sub? [:D]

IIRC subs that reach a certain damage level have to surface (are treated like surface combatants), so perhaps the first attack did enough damage forthe sub to be forced to the surface and into the guns of the second DD group.

When subs are out of torpedoes they will do a surface attack, instead of a submerged attack. Providing they pass their exp/morale rolls.

And if sub commander is very aggressive, he'll often try surface night attacks (like in real war they often did). BTW, good way to get one's sub killed is to put very aggressive commander into inexperienced sub. Only after sub crew has 60+ exp one can expect that to be beneficial.

yes. night time phase can feature sub attacks on the surface. Daylight phase can feature a surface attack by subs if no escorts are present.

This must have been nighttime with an aggressive commander on a damaged sub. It was surface based and it was nighttime. That, plus the damage I can think of no other reason why they'd have tangled on the surface with a 4 pack group of DD's. Makes for a DEAD SS. [:D]

Nikademus -> RE: Amusing Combat result (1.795) (2/23/2006 8:07:58 PM)
damage does not force a sub to run surfaced. SYS damage reduces the chances for a sub to attack.
