Sabotaging an Oil Platform

[Charky]

Is this possible? Maybe using a spy on a sub?

I am in the end game and have just got peace in a world war. I need to rearm. The AI has just got access to an oil field, and has to share 2 oil resources between the master an two vassals (one of which belonging to the vassal... but its difficult to reach... on a coast though. Can I deliver a spy by sea to try to sabotage it too?

If I can knock out his oil production I have a much greater chance of smashing his defences without gunships and armour. Fortunately he only has one alumnium and one uranium.

Im bummed out the two guys I was fighting with and essentially gave half the tech tree to plus had to spend a significant amount of money on now wont sign a pact with me.

I may end up having to fight the final battle alone now... I most upset

I have killed nearly 700 units with a loss of 100 of my own. Its getting really tough now as my stealth bombers are taking a huge amount of attrition, taking almost as much losses as my armour. Epic game though

Thanks guys

Well, who knew, this actually works (screenshot attached). Could almost be useful – already for Fishing Boats in places where the AI will struggle to replace them.

...Huh. I wonder if this could have potential uses for Willem, given EIM have the Can Explore Rival Territory tag that allows them to enter foreign cultures without open borders. Of course no oceanic oil platforms in that era, but...maybe you could do something with sabotaging fishing boats?

Caravels can carry spies, so it would be widely applicable.

Edit: so can attack subs.
