@Rakeman:
I don’t understand… if one destroyer scores a successful detection, are all subs detected? Or, do all destroyers roll, and for every “hit,” one sub is detected? But that brings the question, what happens when 2 nationalities each have subs, with different DD to Detect values? Every hit that can be applied is applied?
yes, all subs at that detection level are found if one DD detects them
Example:
5 subs in a SZ (2 UK, 3 US), Japan brings 1 DD and 3 ftrs to try and sink them.
Base detection roll is a 3 or less.
Take into account modifiers:
Japan has added air power to the detection (+1) modifier
US has super subs in my example (-1) modifier, but only for the US subs.
Japan rolls a 4 for detection.
UK subs are detected, US subs are not detected.
Recall detection only affects a subs ability to dive after opening fire in the first round of battle. After that, all remaining subs are considered detected. Submerge cababilities then default to standard LHTR rules: If an enemy DD is present, subs can not dive.
Keep firing away with the questions. Enhanced sub rules make take a while to ‘get used to’, but they are a main reason that Enhanced offers much greater naval battle opportunities than standard revised. The Battle of the Atlantic is a reality: German CAN win control of the atlantic.
