Trying to understand the sub doctrine option and if it exist any more in WitP:AE. Can't seem to see it in 'Realism' options. But it's still incorrecly mentioned in manual. 6.2.12 SUBMARINES Submarines are sent on patrol as a TF, usually with only one sub in each one. The computer can assign patrol orders, or you can choose to give it a DH yourself. Missions for submarines are Sub Patrol, Sub Minelaying, Sub Transport and, if midget submarines are available, Midget Submarine and Midget Submarine Carrier. A good strategy for using submarines is to send them to choke points, or patrol near major enemy supply areas. With the Automated Submarine Operations option turned on, the computer will take care of creating sub TFs and will send them on patrol so you don’t have to order them individually (although you can still take any sub TF off of computer control). For greater realism, Japanese subs can be set to use the Japanese Sub Doctrine (see section 2.4.1 Japanese Sub Doctrine). Although in same manual (PDF) section 2.4.1 is ... 2.4.1 FOG OF WAR This switch controls the amount of information that either side can receive regarding the enemy. Historically, the commanders relied on spotty and often incomplete information on which to base their strike decisions. In War in the Pacific, Admiral’s Edition™, the player may select whether they wish to place themselves more fully in the same shoes as their historical counterparts. Can somebody please let me know if there is a difference between Allied or Japanese sub doctrine in WitP:AE? Or are subs just alike now as far as doctrine is concerned? Thanks
