OPilot -> Victory Points for Japanese Type Yu Transport Sub (7/26/2020 3:00:42 PM)
WITPAE has the victory points for an SST Yu class sub as 22 but Tracker has it as 7 points. This sub has a displacement of only 273 tons and so 7 points seems more reasonable. Is WITPAE really crediting the Allies with 22 victory points for sinking a Type Yu sub? The durability of the Type Yu is 22 in both WITPAE and Tracker. Which victory point value should I go with when deciding whether or not to risk losing one of these small subs that can transport only 40 tons of supplies? Is there a glitch in WITPAE or Tracker that leads to this discrepancy in victory points?

There is no bug here. The VPs are WAD. Alfred

OPilot, I use those subs all the time. I pick very low aggression high naval skill leaders, and I set their routing controls to low threat, safer. I don't believe I have ever lost one with those changes and I tend to micro manage them a bit...you have to as they are sub transports. You have to be somewhat careful in how you use them. In all honesty they aren't really great ships.

Alfred Sorry, I don't know what WAD is an acronym for? Should I go with 22 or 7 for the victory points? OPilot

WAD = Working As Designed.

Sinking one of those very few IJ Army subs deals a hu-u-ge blow to the Army morale. That's why those high VPs :)

At 22 VPs, they are future dock queens for sure.

Stella has insane maneuver rating. Cannot be hit by heavy flak guns.
