V1.1.8 R Submarine Missions need to be fixed

[Schnuddldusl]

Hey there,

i just created an Account on this forum because of how bad Submarine Missions are. They seem to be stupidly random and you can´t do something about it.

For example, in my 1917´s Campaign i have a Fleet of 2BB, 1BC and 3CL´s. The CL´s are equipped with the best Depth Charges i have and i even pushed the research in priority to get better ones because of former bad encounters with Submarines. And all my Ships have Hydro II.

Nevertheless one Submarine (Yes one, just only one) encountered the Fleet i described and it sunk 1BB and 1BC and damaged all other Ships. The Submarine just suffered light Damage.

When i look upon my Submarines, they don´t even have enough Torpedoes to sink one BB. I really don´t know what´s about this Submarine Missions, but they seem so off and bad i had to write something about it here. They should be overhauled quickly. The new world map is so much fun and it is thrilling to deal with close battles and so on. But then it comes one Submarine and kills your really needed Fleet in one particular region and all goes down.

I have actually quitted my campaign because of this. I lost 6 BB´s and 3 BC´s against Submarines. Sometimes i crush them all and sometimes one of them kills almost my hole Fleet.

So Far.

Cheers.

Best advice in the meantime, save before auto-resolve and reload if needed. Auto resolve RNG seems to be the problem and needs tuning.

Strongly recommend simply having more escorts. At least a 2:1 ratio with capital ships seems required. DDs are worth building for this reason mostly.

I had big Fleets with about 5 DD´s and it did not make a difference.

But maybe madham is right and its just the Auto resolve.

I usually run 12, 8 when they get big if I'm hitting task force crew limits.

And still the same issue. You should do the game a favor and remove Submarines. AI is spamming them and it does not matter how much and good Anti Sub DD´s you have in your Taskforce. It is so annoying. And no saving the game everytime you got attacked by Subs suck.
