JagdFlanker, my mid to late game MS's are similar in size and speed except for not having 5 inch guns. I'll give that a try next game. Thanks.

Like others, I've usually hung onto old DDs and built some extra MS if I need to, and never had trouble with sub spam (even when the AI has pumped out well over 100). It'll take a few turns for the large numbers of subs to be whittled down, and quite a few merchants'll be lost while it happens, but it's never been an 'issue' per se. I generally only play until 1925 or a little afterwards.

You know the event where your new Navy Minister demands a bunch of Destroyers?
I usually respond to that by making some tiny cheap coastal patrol torpedoboats that get used for anti-sub duty.

I agree that using DDs is a valid tactic, whether old ones or new ones. But they cost so much more to build and run than minesweepers do...

great idea actually - never thought of just adding a torp tube and a knot of speed to my current MS to fulfill a DD build requirement
then again i usually have 4-5 DDs per capital ship in my fleet so i don't think it ever comes up lol

Ships on CP/ASW are also present for enemy coastal raids. Using cheap DDs allows the possibility of enemy ships getting torped when they get too close to your patrolling cheap DDs.

I have found that AMC once you have q ship technology are very effective at killings subs.
