My german submarines does everything in their power to murder themselves in the English Channel

Anyone have any solution to this problem?


When I lose submarines in the Atlantic and my submarine-squadrones are getting reinforced, they force themselves into the English Channel no matter what I do.

They get destroyed by air or English navy fleet instantly. I have the area set to BLOCKED. But it doesn't help anything at all. Trying to move them helps for a moment, but as soon as I don't pay any attention to them, they force them selves into the BLOCKED English channel again.

My best guess is that your submarines don't have the range to reinforce without going through the blocked zones.

Until France falls you tend to get high sub casualties.
I haven't tried this in a while, but next time you could ask nationalist Spain for docking rights during the civil war. You keep the rights when its over.

Would unblocking western sea zone help? It doesn't have shallow sea
Apparently when blocking sea zones "fleets won't pass unless they have no other way", so there might be no other way because of too many zones blocked

Make sure to set your newly built subs to deploy to western France. Then they will reinforce from there instead. You could even have them practice outside France before joining one of your raider squadrons, but that requires some manual labour - and no idea if the extra xp before entering combat is worth it.

This. don't send any subs out before France has fallen, then manually route them around the channel, rebase everything, and build new ones in Brest or another port in Western France. This is also historical btw.

Use subs after France fall. Otherwise they do not have the range to reach the Atlantic around the British Isles.

Thanks for this

If you have Man the Guns you can block sea zones.
