I had two IJN subs sitting of Nomea. First, I sent out the SCs, but their experiance was so low that they tried to engage in gun battles withe IJN subs and got generally got sunk. Then put a ASW DD or two in the SC task forces, and the subs simply submerged and sank the DDs, and the surfaced the next turn and attacked sank another couple of sub chasers. Frustrated, I got together a big taskforce of ASW DDs, with cruiser support, and sent them to hunt these two subs. Result? You guessed it it, another DD torpedoed. Frustrated, I put every plane on the base on ASW patrol (about 35 B-17s, 25 B-25s, 15 Hudsons, and 30 PBYs). Despite doing this for a week, with both subs just a hex or two away from Nomea, they scored no hits.Finally, some damaged cruisers (with their floatplanes and ASW patrol), escorted by several destroyers, limped towards Nomeau. The same IJN subs managed to sneak through all the DDs without a scratch and put three torpedoes in the Australia, sending her to the bottom. After 2 weeks (game time) of strenuous ASW effort, those two IJN subs are still there and untouched, while all I have to show for it are 4 SCs, 3 DDs, and 1 CA sunk. Anyone have any suggestions on how to get rid of those subs?
