To those of you that have expressed concern about Ironhead I wouldn’t worry too much. <snip>
Ah! Thanks for the explanation. That does reduce my worry some
I still wish he'd pop in just to say hi, and let us know he's ok.
Anyway, several other people have expressed a wish that naval warfare in his AAR was explained more fully. <snip>
Wow, thanks for the information. I was moving my sub fleets to different areas after they were attacked, but moving them once they are successful and before being attacked makes much more sense
While I don't mind my subs picking off groups of two DDs, running into a fleet of 22 ships is painful.
Is it ok to alternate between two adjacent areas (e.g. Cape Finisterre <--> Portugese Coast) after a successful raid, or is three better?
What is the purpose of rebasing in Narvik? If it's due to position, why not rebase all sub fleets there? If it's due to dividing up repair work, well, Narvik's naval base is only a size 3. Do you recommend increasing that?
Is it worth going after the USA convoys once we're at war with them?
I might be misunderstanding this, but it seems like you suggest keeping half the fleets in port, and half out raiding. Why not have all healthy sub fleets out raiding? Does this have to do with not saturating the areas?
Also, why do you suggest only raiding a month at a time? And how do you "use" travel distance? Is that an Arma 1.3beta thing? Or is it possible to actually send your sub fleets out too far? I haven't gone further than the Grand Banks, so I really don't know.
BTW, can I assume the Bay of Biscay area is no longer good pickings for convoys once France has fallen?
Thanks for the advice
