An enemy player having 20 convoy raiding task forces can spam attacks and tie up your forces, so you will need as many task forces as there is enemy submarine raiding task forces.
You need 10 task forces so that they can be engaged in 10 different naval battles at the same time. Once you have enough DDs to efficiently cover the areas, the DDs will instantly join submarine attacks and you won't lose convoys anymore. You will need roughly 2* dockyards on DD production for every dockyard on convoy production. So best escort DD is early hull, early turret, early engine and that's all. Since submarines flee ships with depth charges, and the early DD hull has a base value of 1 in DC, you don't need anything more, and you need as much of them as possible. You can try with lower escort efficiency but I wouldn't take the risk. It improves with the skill of your admiral, lowering the number of escort ships needed again, but it's anedoctical. So any admiral with 10 task forces will have 100% coordination. Coordination is essentially a value which punishes of using more than 10 task forces in a fleet. With 100% coordination, the value goes to 1 screening ship to 3 convoys. The base value is that you need 1 screening ship for every 2 convoys escorted. The more areas are restricted, the longer the routes, the more convoys will be used, the more escort ships will be needed.Įscort efficiency: it dictates how efficient your screening ships are at escorting your convoys. So basically, restrict the areas where convoys can go, then cover the entire world with the convoy escort missions of your fleet, split your escorting fleet into 10 task forces and give it an admiral. The number of convoys which have to be protected by the escort ships only increase when you give them more naval routes to cover. But you are putting your destroyers at a risk of being attacked by something else than a submarine in some areas, so you block those naval areas from convoys by clicking on the naval region, or you add your own fleet in the area. So there is no downside to give all the naval areas through which the convoys go.
However, it will only protect them in that area. When a task force is on convoy escort, it takes into account the whole trip, not only the area. In this case, you can assign a task force to as many areas as you want without losing any efficiency.

How to counter the sub meta ? Simple: put destroyers on convoy escort mission. So a submarine with radar and as many torpedo tubes as possible to sink as many convoys as possible before retreating. They are very hard to spot and deal a lot of damage to convoy. Submarines are the go-to ship because they are adapted to missions in areas you don't have a confident control of (otherwise, you could sink convoys with any other vessel). You either have confident control of a sea area or you don't. Because of that, it's better to have specialized ships based on the missions. Minesweeping ships on minelaying missions won't sweep mines. The naval system relies on missions that you give to task forces, regrouped into fleet. It will be divided into different chapters for a clearer explanation and understanding.įuel is limited, you want to use as little ships as possible on a mission, so you want your ships to be as efficient as possible. It's only for SP, but a lot of things also work for MP. This is an explanation of all the mechanics and meta I have understood so far, and the navy I am using and its ships designs. If you don't want to read all the explanations, skip to the bottom, but you will miss important information. It's an improved and lengthened copy-pasted guide I have wrote earlier merged with another and updated.
