Escort by sub

Post by Skyland »

Will it be possible to assign a sub as convoy escort (like it was done the Atlantic, Artic and Indian Ocean) ?

No. You could have a sub "follow" a transport TF however (I think subs can follow anyways - will double check).

Edit: Yes they can.

Now, assuming we have sub vs sub combat in AE, Clark Gable can get his arse shot off again and again in AE by the Jap sub operating with Akikaze in the Bungo Straits![:)]

How the release of midgets is made? Ideally we should have 2 options: the ship/submarine is in an hex and we release the midget and it can return. Another is working like in offensive minelaying or land bombardment where in the destination hex the midget automatically released and that way we can manage to release it at night and the mothership is free to return to less dangerous waters.

So there is not a number limit? Btw since barges are not produced anymore by AK/AP's what are the rules to produce them?

No, they have a limit. Same as barges and PTs. They have ALWAYS had limits. They are built in ports, same same.

Assuming you mean class by model, why would that be true? You can have more than one class of PT.


Can it be upgraded?

A ship is a ship and a upgrade is whatever is defined in the editor.
