Now, granted, I could have been lucky to have my subs positioned in the exactly right spot, and this could be a factor of poor AI-use of ASW escorts. Thoughts, opinions?
Also, I have had two subs commit suicide by attacking transports on the surface, only to be hit by some crappy old gun on the xAK.
