So, MTBs?
Any use at all? Ever?!?
Has anyone had much (any) success with them, or had anyone suffered losses because of their use by an enemy?

I rarely try to use them since I've never had them show up on my side even in fairly constricted zones like the Adriatic. I can count on one hand the times they've shown up for the enemy, and one time they didn't do anything, another time I don't remember what happened, and there might not have been a third time.

Oh, I won defensive invasion battles just by the MTB sinking two BB's and several transports. They are highly situative though, and in many scenarios their patrol areas are positioned relative to the "usual" battle path in such a way that the two do not meet.

I always build them because I always play small navies... but I don't remember ever seeing from my (modest) experience them becoming useful at some point.

It helped me win some smaller engagements (cruiser battles, raids on enemy shipping) against larger fleets. But I never had any defensive successes by/with them. In addition I often get failure pop ups because of them, even if the enemy builds them and this sucks! There seems something strange about their designs or anything like that, that starts to ruin the game behaviour. I had engagements in Northern Europe with Germany against Britain with just closing pop up windows und smashing the space bar because of air attacks and those failures. My fleet just steamed home and I won the battle. But this is no fun.
