How to organize submarine fleet?
I created a lot of submarines as Germany to try to bring british industry to a halt by cutting off the supply. How to organize submarine fleets for best interception percentage? What are the tradeoffs?
Group size? For subby hit-and-run smaller fleets (1-3) sounds better but one can hardly afford a leader to all of them, let alone one with a spotter or sub-master skill. Also, I imagine too large a fleet would not be optimal either.
Distribution? When to use any such "properly sized" fleets in 1 specific region vs have larger overlapping areas for each sub fleet?
Unfortunately the game seems to lack any strategic "spreadsheet" or diagrams to measure trade interdiction progress.

How is a Navy fleet organized?
Most fleets are divided into several squadrons, each under a subordinate admiral. Those squadrons in turn are often divided into divisions. In the age of sail, fleets were divided into van, centre and rear squadrons, named after each squadron's place in the line of battle.How do I set up Fleet hoi4?
30 Subs = Raiding task force. More is overkill as they are just fighting convoys. 20 is fine initially, but you will want to bump them up to 30 in order to do as much damage to naval invasions as possible.How many submarines are in a task force hoi4?
The only way is to improve what you have all the time of the Survace Navys there. And build up new Ships are possible [like 2 Battleships and 3 Heavy Cruisers in Germany]. Upgrading in Guns, Technology (like Radar, Fire Control etc.), AA and Armor etc.HOI4 Fleet Composition Guide (Hearts of Iron 4 MTG Expansion Tutorial)
