I just started to use attack submarines as a main unit for my navy. But they don't seem to have much benefits. Any thoughts ?
Are Submarines worth it ?

Navy build should be based on the resources u have most. for exm if ur electronic production is good u should go for submarine. if ur electronnic is weak and component is good then go for crusers. if ur both r weak batter to go for destroyer.
crusers and frigates r weak against subs
Subs r weak against destroyers
Destroyers and frigates are weak against crusers
we can use hidden mission with subs like if u want to destroy enemy infrustructuere research subs and missile to hit infrustructure and move away. -
Okay, thank you for the help

only good for hit and stick stealth missions. cant stand and bang with ships.
In world maps Ill build 1 or 2 Ball mill Subs as a regional hotspot offense /defense. Park some place can reach wide area and not likely to get detected. Use BM as surprise first strike of out of range foes. Or can counterattack if a front is overrun (tricker to catch opponent in prov/city).
I dont think I have ever been sunk by an attack sub and not a real big threat more a nuisance but a BM can ht homeland from far away and even a conv BM has a decent punch.
Naval Patrol can hunt / kill subs pretty easily."And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him "
aka ...The killer formerly known as BuckeyeChamp -
If your biggest threat are cruisers, submarines are the most effective counter, especially with submarine officer. Sometimes submarines are better in terms of economy.
But otherwise a surface vessel is preferable simply because of naval bombardment.
PS. If you are going a solid naval build, frigates and submarines are a great duo, both in terms of balanced economy and in capabilities.I am Aeneas, duty-bound and known above high air of heaven by my fame, carrying with me in my ships our gods of hearth and home, saved from the foe. I look for Italy to be my fatherland, and my descent is from all-highest Jove. -
Thank you all for the suggestions and opinions

When I make subs
a. my electronics hit 0
and b. they all are destroyed very quickly in shallow water.
while most of the ocean is deep water, sometimes this severely impedes your ability to respond to all ship threats. Plus, just subs will be destroyed by ASW helis quickly. Better with destroyers.If you don't lose, you don't learn"

I found this the problem too, very difficult to find ships in deep water where subs are most useful, and plus everyone got destroyers so subs just get pummelled.
Now Ballistic Missile Subs are awesome, build a couple and park them they come in handy -
park your attack sub in shipping routes where the enemy is bringing his troops though water, and you will be very effective“I hate 4x” -me
