jwolf -> Naive question about sub attack tactics (1/13/2016 7:24:02 PM)
|
What determines when a sub attacks from the surface, and is there any way to stop it? I'm a bit frustrated with some of the Allied sub captains who do this, getting into a gunfire contest with a Japanese freighter on more or less equal terms when my sub is a lot more valuable. I can sort of excuse this for the main American subs in 1942 with their poor quality torpedoes, but it's maddening when a Dutch sub does this, not even trying to launch a torpedo but relying on the deck gun (granted in some cases they shoot both). Even worse, on one occasion the sub attacked from the surface -- not with fish, nor with the main gun, though it had plenty of ammo for both -- but strafed the enemy ship with its machine gun while taking 8 cm shells in response! [8|] Is it possible to fine tune these things, or does one simply roll the dice with the virtual captain's choice?
