@battlevnwar - Re: Human Counter

I mentioned this in another post:

I've noticed Land base aircraft are the most effective/deadly against Naval fleets.

From an Axis perspective, the most vulnerable times are when my fleets are in port, leaving or returning. The Allied land base aircraft (bombers) have a better chance of actually causing a little damage (1 in 3 I find). A damaged fleet (lame duck) in a combined fleet makes the whole group more readily detectable in open sea. This forces me at times to leave them(lame ducks) behind in port.

The Germans should never EVER have 15, or even NINE, Sub Groups AT SEA. According to my references even when they reached that NOMINAL number (some time in late 1941 for 4-5 Groups) they only averaged TWO Groups AT SEA AND OPERATIONAL at any one time rising to THREE in early 42 and FOUR by mid-42 ... by which time the Allied Escorts and Hunter-Killer Groups should have the numbers and the technology to make them increasingly redundant.

vs the AI 15 is possible i guess? thats making your barbarossa mighty tight, if your playing against basic historical AI probably doable, your down 4-5 tank corps...

vs a human I would be immensely surprised if that ever occurs. just the simple increased upkeep costs every turn a human causes against you eat away at that magical sub number.
