Battle of Atlantic - Axis side

Post by Bretwalda76 »

So what can you do to maximise damage to your enemy and win the BoA as Axis?

- Lots of submarines in groups of 3 in raid mode
- Always move to another convoy route in each turn: North Atlantic, South Atlantic, Africa Coast and later Pan American and Caribean
- Send home your sub for repairs when below 4 strength
- Use supply oiler when your subs are out of supply (preferably on group of 3)
- Only send your surface ships to raid in bad weather only in raid mode

Any other suggestions?

Seems very good to me.

But the moving every turn to another convoy might become predictable. You basically randomize it weather you move or not.

It is useful to know that although subs can not do " pursuit " in fleet mode they still follow the pursuit logic when raiding if they used both actions points in a turn (they both do and take less damage when raiding at end of that turn).
