1 DD Vs. 1 SUB (1v1) in American Convoy Zone (4 IPC).
Previously you said subs would always prefer to submerge but I have a suspicion this scenario may be an exception given the closer odds on this fight.
@VictoryFirst Forgot to roll for USA:
[dice 1d6<=3]
1d6<=3: 3; Hits: 1
@VictoryFirst Disregard my previous ask since I hit. Rolling for sub:
[dice 1d6<=2]

@DoManMacgee said in VF (Germany) vs. DoMan (Allies) | Original Europe, Game 1:
Previously you said subs would always prefer to submerge but I have a suspicion this scenario may be an exception given the closer odds on this fight.
Also in this case if your DD missed I would have submerged, since that is part of my strategy (in my opinion the most annoying thing you can do with the German subs is continously submerging, harassing the convoy centers and forcing the Allies to do something about it).

And to rephrase what I said above: I think capturing the convoy centers is worth more than killing the Allied naval units, mostly because in the latter case there is some risk involved.
