Battleships or subs

[Guest]

which are the best for sea-battles
the cheap subs or the high attack/defense battleships

[Yanny]

Subs. 3 Subs attacking 1 Bb = Subs win. 1 BB attacking 3 subs = Subs win. Its all about numbers.

I think I’d have to agree with Yanny; although, I would probably buy a battleship if I had sevral subs already just to add some punch to my force.

However, if you play with two hit battleships, battleships are quite a formidable force.

[greensleeves]

a 2 hit battleship helps your fleet more then 3 subs. It adds some firepower, less then subs though, but it can also take 1 extra hit and it can support amphibious assaults and it can attack planes.

Well if you plan on attacking, subs have the all powerful first strike attack. Plus in major sea battles 3 subs will give you 3 hits while a battleship will only yield 2

[Yanny]

I only use 2hit bbs to protect transports. This way, Air raids or hit and runs dont hurt me as much.

The main advantage of Battleships over subs is that, unlike subs, they can shoot planes

[Yanny]

Good point, I never thought of that.
