In HOI1, the subs were VERY effective, a little too much so. In HOI2, they
dumbed them down quite a bit making them hardly worth building. Doomsday
flavored them up slightly so that the subs could perform as intended....

The subs are great in Doomsday. The strategy outlined in the thread I linked to works well and I would think the basic mechanics of it are probably applicable to any version of the game.

However, It is a strategy you have to deliberately decide on from quite early on, I think, in order to have the sort of numbers of boats you need to be successful. I' ve tried it once or twice with reasonable results but I think there are probaly better strategies available if you are attempting to defeat Britain. I haven't tried it against Japan So I can't comment on that.
