ATTACKING A CONVOY

[michaelCLARADY]

How does a live player go about attacking the AI or another live players ocean convoys with subs, surface ships or aircraft? Nothing I do lights up a convoy path hex for attack or even a failed search indication. Is the attack supposed to be auto if the sub is on a convoy hex. Does a sub setting of raider vs fleet matter on the sub?

The map has lines of transports. Put subs in raider mode and just plop them there. Watch their unit supply level and health.
It is cheaper to repair than to build a new one.
Raider mode just makes it harder to find.
You can do the same with surface or CV fleets
Try and place them in a low recon hex.

If you are defending a convoy line you need to use the Convoy menu item to put escorts in the zone you want. Only 10 escorts will be effective in a lane.

Since subs can attack a fleet at a 5 hex radius, does this also include a convoy line?

Or, do I need to park my sub units on the convoy line designated hex?

[AlvaroSousa]

Park it on the convoy line
