That's why I say we have some ports something like pearl harbor just less defended and have some oil tankers to sink.Just make it in the port kill some tankers while there still in port.
I suppose you'll be wanting your name in lights for destroying these less defended tankers sitting in port?

Do any of you guys asking for subs realize how slow a WWII submarine moves under water and how quick it would be destroyed on the surface by the task groups in AHII?
You guys would die of boredom submerged and probably be clobbered before your torps hit if on the surface, and that's if your torps hit at all.

Just saying...
Not so much if spawn points were added just off shore of potential TG targets. Enemy TG shows up at your Port, launch a sub instead of a PT.
Easy in-game again.

There's an idea.

This is a good point but this almost basically the same as killing a carrier with a Lancaster NOE with the 5inchers manned.In the Sub ed least you got a chance not being detected right away.

Before you wish for anything to add in AH, please do us all a favor and wish for knowing how to spell and writing above the illiteracy level.  Honestly, each of your posts are painful to read and it just boggles the mind how you've been able to advance in school.

Back to subject.I like the sub mostly the U-boat because 1st. There was many movies made about subs like Das Boot,U-571 and so on.2nd So many were made because it played such a good role during WWII.Plus what is WWII with out subs.

Maybe you should read a little more. Submarines (U-boats in particular) would spend days stalking and eventually attacking convoys. You really want to spend days stalking a task group? To add to the level of comparison, the task groups in Aces High travel at 50kts (verified through the AH FV by an aircraft sitting still on the CV). Although this is much faster than any task group in WWII, the task group is still much faster than a submarine which will pull 18kts at best.

Please, enlighten me. If submarines played such a good role in WWII, name one occasion off the top of your head where a submarine caused an astounding upset in the outcome of a battle or the entire war.

Remember Gato (I think it was called) back before the internet?

I liked Gato, used to play the crap out of it on my Apple IIc.
