Lokasenna -> RE: Jakes on Naval Attack and ASW (6/30/2015 5:50:51 PM)

I've noticed also that groups on ASW missions will "spot" subs on your map more often than naval search. This is not to say that naval search missions can't do it, but ASW does it better. This makes sense, as it takes more time to look for a sub (it's why ASW flies only to half range). If you want to spot subs, use ASW. Damage to them is a bonus if you are using Jakes, although enough 60kg hits can send them back to the barn. Even just 1 hit can deal enough system damage to the boat to cause it to miss on its attacks or fail to evade surface ASW or fail to control the damage from a successful hit from a larger aerial bomb or depth charge. My subs that get hit by 60kg bombs tend to have somewhere around 10-12 System damage. Not a lot, but enough that I would think twice about risking them in trying to get an attack inside of a shallow water or base hex, for example, where I would be subject to more effective ASW.
