As far as I remember, the stock game doesn't really let you do any damage to subs, I recall firing at a sen toku sub and watching it just bounce around in the water, taking no damage. Similar experiences using a u-boat against fleet boats.

This was some time ago, so that may have changed, but I think that's the situation at least in stock.

I have seen a mod in the downloads section which makes the sen toku destroyable, but haven't yet been able to try it.

Subs have to be converted to ships in order for them to even move. Once you do that then you can use them in missions. They are in some of the mods.

I believe they are included in campaign and some missions (though they are VERY rare.. you need to go out into the Indian ocean to find one) in TMO and or RSRDC for 1.4

Ah, that would explain things! Thanks for the info

enemy subs are in RSRDC. It even has single missions featuring sub v sub:

the problem is that they only act as surface ships, namely, they do not submerge or fire torpedoes.

SH5 has actual enemy subs that will fire torps at you and submerge.

Do you think it is possible to convert the SH5 sub AI to SH4?

I would imagine it isn't, but you never know!

Just an add on to the other comments. Since the AI subs are converted to ships, they will fire the deck gun at you if you are surfaced. And they are much more maneuverable than the big ships so they evade torpedoes easier. (unless the values have been Modded.)

We do have a submerged sub in the Japanese Campaign (if I can ever get it done) but it has a problem, the game thinks it is on the surface so DDs fire guns at it not DCs.

My old memory is not working so good.

But someone was working on a sub quite a while ago that would submerge and fire torps, but I never heard anymore about it. So I don't remember if it was ever finished, or if it was in a Super MOD.

Just FYI:

My store bought (Fry's) copy of SH4 Gold did not come with a CD Key and I've never been prompted for one.
