v081-single sub multiple convoy attacks.

Post by ago1000 »

A single sub group can have multiple attacks on the same hex in a single turn.
With the multiple attacks it often gets sunk eventually.
This is against the AI.

1st pic shows single sub attacking twice and gets sunk.
2nd pic shows single sub attack 3 times in a turn. It takes damage on two of the attacks but only sinks 1MM on the attack showing. All other attacks have 0MM 0E sunk.

I know that in WP, a sub will attack each route in a lane. So if the UK send ressources to Canada and the US sends ressources to the UK and the USSR, it will mean multiple attacks on the NA lane. Probably the same thing here with the subs attacking the normal default ressources route, and also the voluntarily lend-lease routes.

OK, that makes sense then as the US is sending resources to UK, Aus, India, NZ, Can. So more than likely the size of the convoys gives them a higher probability to run into the convoy and UK, Aus, India are being shipped 25+ resources each. Thanks, learn something new everyday.

Just tested and you are correct. Thank you very much.

That's how it works. I could add in if they are really damaged not to attack.

Might be a good idea to stop attacking at 1/3 strength as it gives the player an opportunity to retire and repair the unit.

I looked into this. Couple things

#1 can't correct it with the current system.
#2 if I correct it it will be almost impossible to sink subs with my suggestion.
