Apologies if this has been discussed already, but I truly like submarines and keep searching for ways to make them more useful. I'm now thinking of editing them to have the "white" flag, or the unknown owner flag, whatever that is called. Has anybody tried this?
This will only work if the AI truly doesn't know (or at least pretends like it doesn't) where your submarines are unless they are observed. I've watched AI ships sail halfway across the world to attack one of my privateers. (I often use that stunt to bring AI navies within range of my bombers before declaring war). If the AI is going to congregate around my "white" subs, then this trick will be worse than useless.
The other question is how effective will the AI be at using the "white" subs? I remember some early threads where Vel was fairly pleased with the AIs use of a "Land Privateer" unit, hopefully that might extend to naval units.
How about it, anybody tried this and have some results, pointers to pass along?
Thanks
