As usual, the know it alls that have never tried something spout off amongst the good comments.
FIRST: Players have been complaining about subs not being countered.
Partial answer: Encourage ASW play.
#2 does this by addressing the DC problem where you sink 2-3 subs in a game, but because of DC damage to your own ship you get 20% of whatever shared XP a DD or CL gets, i.e. nothing.
This is a VERY common scenario, I have been levelling up new BOs just for my CV crews using AA and ASW. Killing 3-4 subs in one game is VERY easy. You have removed the sub threat, your team win and then go on to get 200 XP because of team damage!!!
Subs are FRAGILE to the correct weapons. DC and HH kill virtually any SS you are determined to seek out. But getting no XP for dedicated ASW work just because of DC self team-kill will never encourage people to play ASW.
So now all you FF/DD/CL players, start putting DC on your ships. They are light and don't cost anything near HH. And the main satisfaction of DC is the final kill where you get the sub just as you sink due to the large splash damage of DCs.
And now you now get your full XP for helping the team.
