It is so tasty playing GER and producing dosens of subs.And then ordering them to anchor in Norwegian fiords and ocupied France harbours.And then sending them on their risky missions in Atlantic,commanded by 4-6 level Sea Wolf captains.
It is so tasty,apart from one small thing that bothers mee in Doomsday:
They are worthles!
I tried everything.Large stacks,small stacks.Short missions,long missions.
Night atack,all-day atacks.
I sacrified my hall one game researching subs and their doctrines.Then I introduced level 6(!) subs on Atlantic in 1943 together with all techs related.
Commanders Sea Wolfs level 6/7.
But nothing.I even once produced 6 Nuclear submarines in 1944.But nothing.
They are just sitting ducks.I lost all 6 of them(Donitz level 7) in one day during one cruise in the central Atlantic,by some supernatural Allied Naval Bomber atack(by the way thousands of miles form any Allied airfield).I am not sure if Superman could destroy 6 Nuclear submarines so quickly.
Fix subs.Make them less visible to enemy at least.make them woth of building.
By doing so,oposing side will have beter motive to build fleets to opose them,so naval warfare will be more interesting,and game focus will be more shifted on naval warfare.
I know it is maybee interesting when playing Britain,to make genocide of advanced German subs only with fiew destroyers in 1941.But is is far from historical truth.
I know,game management is such,that playing GER and winning over Russia is key to win,but there lacks one whole theater of WW2 there.A Battle for the Atlantic doesnt exisit in DD.
