ASW is the NF pariah profession.
Fleets dont understand the right role of a good SS-ASW operative group component, of course in the development of HA/HD. Dont know how it works.
In GB, ASW can practice most of the tactical and marksman techniques, support and manoeuvres, but forget the EXP amount.
I find it very funny to see an DC equipped ASW in AH/DH. Its like a lollipop in ass...
Try to manoeuvre among fighting BBs, with the intention to pass over or near infiltrated SS (and trying to contain panic).
That is one more reason to equipe with PHH, good ASW DD/CL.
ASW is an expensive, ungrateful, only for patient people and very necessary profession.
Please see the few good ASW specializated players, with a little more interest...
