TaoJah Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 I think that if Germany invests in subs enough, they can prevent the US from shipping out. The problem is that this will cost alot : you need like 400MPP into sub research and another 1400MPP to get seven subs. That's alot of money...

Blashy Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 The sub strategy is good but you have to think long term for Axis in terms of winning the game. And you have to gain control of the seas, if you do not, you are doomed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exel Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 Needless to say the primary function of subs isn't ship hunting as there are better vessels for that, but convoy raiding. However advanced subs (even L2) can be very deadly against whole surface fleets if used properly. Just don't barge headlong against enemy ships (you'll get squashed) but ambush them. A properly situated group of subs along a convoy lane can devastate a fleet coming after them if you can arrange multiple surprise contacts. Edit: And never ever stand and fight with your subs but withdraw from contact into new ambush positions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_j_rambo Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 I've used subs against many ametuer players, it's really fun. But against veterans, not very wise, unfortunetly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
