Then you could keep subs in their own battle mode with Escorts and DDs as the only playable ships. They would start at T4, so you would have 6 Escorts per line. If some nation didn't have a dedicated Escort class, use older subs or paper ships if needed. Escorts would be the DEs that each nation had. I would also add Escorts as a new class as well. Minor powers can get paper ships if needed. You would have 6 to 7 subs in each line and the major powers should be able to swing that. Personally, I would like them to start at T3 or T4 and not skip tiers. I agree with subs being on even tier and starting at T6 with WWII subs is a mistake. The way the tech trees look now you just jump directly into the mainstay subs of the war without going through early, inter-, or even WWI boats. Personally I think the former part of that is a mistake, and that they should at least start at tier 4 like CVs. I seem to recall them announcing that Sub lines would start at tier 6 and be even-only like carriers.
