Edwin P. Posted August 11, 2003 Share Posted August 11, 2003 A question. Why can't subs attack subs? I do not understand the logic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Codename Condor Posted August 12, 2003 Share Posted August 12, 2003 uk subs can attack other subs (without surprise) thats because they have sonar level 1, german subs cannot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Ranger Posted August 12, 2003 Share Posted August 12, 2003 uk subs can attack other subs (without surprise) thats because they have sonar level 1, german subs cannot. Cool, I never knew that. I need to play test this becaue I thought in one game I had subs and could not attack the itialian on unless it was a surprise contact. Hmmmm - breaking out the editor tonight!

Terif Posted August 12, 2003 Share Posted August 12, 2003 hmm, I know from my TCP games that it is not possible to attack other subs, no matter from which country they are or what sonar level they have... To be sure I just testet the sub thing and UK subs can also NOT attack other subs... sonar doesnt matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codename Condor Posted August 12, 2003 Share Posted August 12, 2003 Ive jsut tested and u r right nothing to do with sonar or advance subs, i just remembered how the AI attacked my subs with UK subs and i always thought it had to do with tech development, now i see its only a nice advantage hubert have given to AI subs, also it works with axis subs BUT as i say only the AI can do it. weird.

pzgndr Posted August 12, 2003 Share Posted August 12, 2003 An AI special feature? Hmmmm. This one need some more investigation. A surprise encounter defensive "attack" is not an attack. Can anyone verify if the AI subs can attack enemy subs during the AI turn? [ August 12, 2003, 01:32 PM: Message edited by: Bill Macon ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John DiFool Posted August 13, 2003 Share Posted August 13, 2003 Well, before sophisticated sonar suites, and homing torps, subs were pretty worthless as anti- sub platforms. I remember facing off against Jap subs in Silent Hunter I: we would both submerge, then take pot shots at each other underwater: I think I actually got lucky once and got a hit...

Narayan Sengupta Posted August 17, 2003 Share Posted August 17, 2003 I also think it is AI only. In any case, in real life, there has only been one sub vs. sub underwater sinking, though there may have been another one or two above water, where WWII subs spent the vast majority of their time.
