Please do something about naval warfare, especially sub and anti-sub warfare.

even a player (in multiplayer) is completely uncapable to defend a convoy vs 1 sub while having 2 cruisers (and having any more will make protecting the convoy not cost effective because the upkeep for the vessels will equal or exceed the profit of the convoy and even losing 10pp will put you way behind.) Even with 2 cruisers its not cost effective to defend the convoy if you lose points on it (the german convoy).

This is just becoming frustrating... I stumble upon a sub while one of my cruisers is right next to it and it cant even attack it with both ships =_=

I'm playing as the CP, AI priviliged. I had my U-Boat in position when--BAM!--the Canadian Corps with an escorting CA arrive and I was nailed. First time I had seen that happen.

Only the the "discovering" cruiser can attack.

yes i know that, and thats what is frustrating. it makes no sense what so ever and it makes dealing with u-boats so tedious. there is virtually no way to kill the british sub in the baltic unless you have like 4 vessels to guard it which makes your expenses more than the profit of the convoy. they can attack get attacked by one ship and lose 1-3 strength, go to the russian harbour, repair, rinse and repeat.
