There is this small question going on in the patch thread and I wanted to extract it to find the correct answer.

Vcutag's submarine is being attacked and the reason why is being disputed. Does anyone know the correct situation here?
1. My first response, the enemy has a submarine, nuclear sub, destroyer, or missile cruiser and has spotted the sub. Later that turn it is being attacked by other units.
This does not seem the case in this game. Ethiopia does not seem to be technologically advanced enough to build these units.
2. Someone suggested submarines are ALWAYS visible while in enemy territory. I am almost positive this is wrong. I have had subs in the middle of enemy territory untouched many times.
3. Another member suggested submarines can be spotted by any naval unit when it the sub is the the tile directly touching it. I think this is also incorrect, as I've had submarines encircled by enemy ships before, with no counter attack.
4.Studying the picture, the Ethiopian melee privateer attacks first. My new idea is the AI privateer luckily ended its turn (or passed into the submarines tile) which, though it can not see the sub, has spotted it. The AI is now alert to it and attacked with the ranged frigate.
The submarine is still "invisible" but the AI has on accident found its location. Next turn it will be hidden again.
5. Vcutag, did you have any mod's downloaded while playing that game?
6. Something we have missed?
Thanks everyone.
