The game rules regarding submarines not making a sea zone hostile do not seem to reflect the realities of what submarines did in WW II. The Allies developed anti-submarine forces and the convoy system to fight the German submarine threat in the Atlantic theater and were, after a time, able to virtually eliminate the submarine threat from this “hostile sea zone”. On the other hand, the Japanese never bothered with anti-submarine forces or the convoy system and, by the end of the war, Allied submarines had essentially run out of targets to sink.
Submarine question
-
if one sub attacks another sub, can the defending sub submerge before being shot at?
-
Yes indeed.
When the attacking sub make his combat-move, the defending sub may choose to submerge or fight.
…unless there is an attacking destroyer too
-
Really? I had no idea. How does that make sense? If one sub submerges to flee, the other could also submerge to pursue it. Is this true that subs can submerge against other subs?
-
yes. they can disappear in to the dark deep sea and only the almighty destroyer can find them.
