I think this is covered by the host's comment:

our estimed host wrote:

'Chaff' is any large group of ships designed with the express purpose of attracting missile fire to protect more important vessels.

In small stacks the described DD is an effective minesweeper so you do have a valid excuse to build them, but when deployed in large stacks escorting captial ships it becomes quite clear what they are really being used for... Laughing

Ok, not thousands. However, I do remember building hundreds in a game not to long ago. Chaff was not banned, and they were built exclusively to get rid of pesky SD minefields. Probably never had more than 100 in any one fleet at a given time, too. I had to keep them near, or with fleets, to protect them from anti sweeper ships.

Obviously in a game that didn't ban chaff, no one questions these tactics...

Just thought I'd ask.
