MSWs are obviously exceedingly important for clearing mines pre-invasion, but both of them, once trained are reasonably anti-sub platforms. I will also add them to transport TFs going to the invasion zone, as a target for surface groups.

PC's are critical for both sides to protect convoys. Espeicly the transport and replenishment missions. I always make sure I have at least two if not more in each TF. They also can't attack subs until their exp gets to a certain level (I think it's 60), so crusing around is good for Exp also.

Play some PBEM, and you will find that you don't have enough MSWs!

The AI doesn't come CLOSE to the way alot of players use mines.
