Submarines

From the front lines in France and Russia to the deserts of North Africa and the airfields and convoys of Britain, the campaigns of World War II are yours to command in WW2: Time of Wrath! This turn-based grand strategy title, the highly improved and expanded sequel to WW2: Road to Victory, puts the player in charge of the political, economic and military decisions of one or more Axis or Allied nations, including minor nations.

Submarines

Any use for these things? They seem to die in droves (even when on raiders). They seem to be found way to easy.

They do die, but they are are cheap and quick to build, and in numbers they can do damage.  This was probably the reason the Soviet Union built such a large submarine force during the Cold War.
 
For Germany they are even more effective because of an event.  Subs in the North Atlantic convoy zones can cause PP losses for Great Britain.

30PP is cheap? considering they probably can do maybe 5PP damage at most before they die, i hardly think they are balanced.

ok, done some more experimenting and if i send in lone raiders (1 submarine group) per zone they seem to be found normally (approx 50%). However if i try to send a stack (eg. 4). they all get found extremely easily. The manual claims 1% more likely per extra group but this doesn't seem to pan out in tests.
