I send them out, of course that 1/5 chance is better than no chance sitting in port somewhere, my subs have scored me around 200 points in the first month of the war, and reguarlly attack his convoys around Japan, it makes my opponent have to use PG's and DDs looking for them that could be used to hurt me in other places.

And of course you get results like this on December 7th from time to time

I have started my game with US Submarine Doctrin on because i could not believe some reports in the forums like one attack in a month and so on. But thats my reality even in July 1942. Standart: Torpedo misses, fails to detonate, could not move in a savely postion and so on. Subs have killed till now only two or three japanese ships (ca. 170 are sunk - 75% AU).

This is almost exactly how I utilize my boats too LST. Except the Nautilus class gets put on regular deployment. It would be cool to see those 6" guns in action.

You can check with Herbie, my opponent, as to the veracity of this statement:

Twice now the Argonaut and Narwhal have engaged a Jap transport on the SURFACE while in Kwajalein Lagoon (ie, in the base hex) while on mining missions! Great fun, watching 6in rounds hitting a duck in a pond.....

I try to imagine the Jap base commander jumping up and down in frustration at the sight of this, with all of his base artillery facing outwards from the lagoon....

12/42 and the Allied subs are getting a lot more attacks, now that they have radar.
The dud/miss ratio is the same though. We'll see what happens after the boys in Norfolk get that detonator problem worked out.

I think that untill 43 using the subs to lay mines is a great hindrance to the japs.. and after 43 split them up into miners and attackers....

exception would be the Ducthies.. great little ship killers.. liek them in the China sea area early, then I withdraw whats left and leave them on anti shipping
you will see much better attacks in 43
