Subs should not have 'submerged' defense while in a port, it makes them nearly invulnerable.

Hi, could you give me a few combat examples, e.g. what mode the subs were in, which units were attacking etc.?

Any extra details will help me to better understand the possible issue here, thanks!

A sub in a port is less vulnerable to air attacks if it is in silent mode than if it is in hunt mode.
This seems silly.

Thanks and just to clarify even further, do you mean less likely to be hit, or will suffer less potential damage, e.g. the combat predictions show less possible damage etc.

Combat predictions and results are both reduced (sometimes
to 0, depending on various stats) , there is no dive chance while in port.

For example in my game with OCB (using TRP mod which has bomber/carrier aircraft having a fixed combat value vs. Subs of 2 iirc, and subs having 0 defense):

Maritime bomber vs. Sub in port:
Sub in hunt mode: predicted 2 damage per attack actual 3 over 2 attacks

Sub in silent mode: predicted 0 damage per attack, actual damage 0 over 2 attacks.

I've tried replicating this but am not getting different results whether the sub is in Hunt or Silent mode.

Do you have the challenge id for your game?

We're multiple turns past the event.

I suspect the sub moved into the port in Silent mode, and I believe but am not 100% sure that I attacked it the turn after it moved in.
