Why build ASW subs? It's just stupid. The kinda stupid that thinks eating Tide Pods is a good idea. The kinda stupid that jams the fork in the electrical outlet.
WHY?
Say I need to hunt subs, and hunting subs is really the only thing I'd do with them, because if I wanted to destroy ships, I'd use my own Navy. But, OK, hunting subs ... if I want to hunt subs, I'd build NPAs. Because even tho ASW helos stats vs subs are better, they suck as they are slow and end up with less detection range (half), and have less range period, ending up with 1/7th the range of NPAs. The tradeoff of almost double damage vs subs isn't worth it since subs are slow and once you find them, it's pretty easy to reacquire them. FINDING them is the toughy, and that's where extra range comes in. So ASW Helos are just Naval AWACS in another skin.
