CHS and 1.70ASW

[paladin333]

Does new 1.70patch and CHS combination produce some uber-unkillable-subs.
Will be glad to hear some comments from CHS users.

Thank you.

I have not seen the new routines so I'm not certain. From my experience with the CHS mod to ASW (armor and device adjustments) I would think not.

The subs seem to take more of a pounding before sinking.[:D]

Subs still get hit a bunch from thr air.

My current thoughts on what to do with the subs in CHS are as follows:

- Remove the sub armour, given that the ASW combat routines have been changed in the latest patches. We can give the changes a chance.

- Add air search radar (SD radar) as an upgrade for Allied subs, in one of the 1942 refits. According to play tests adding such a device reduces the number of air attacks vs subs, but I want this to be confirmed (I would like to test it myself but I haven't had time to do so yet).

- MAYBE add a general "device" to ALL subs, Allied and Japanese, which will be in reality a weak air search radar, but which can be called "Lookouts" or similar. This device would (IF it really does work) reduce air attacks vs subs across the board. This device would be a weak version of the Allied radar.

Thoughts?

Sounds good to me. To my experience with tests and modded games, "SD radar" device I use does not reduce number of attacks per se but successful attacks and hits. That would suggest that air search radar gives some sort of evasive bonus.

Sounds reasonable.
