Whoever said evasion-boost equipments on submarines are useless surely doesn't know how does evasion calculation works.

Basically, the higher evasion a ship has, the less dodge rate bonus from equipment gives. Ships with low evasion (60 and below) benefits greatly from evasion-boost equipments.

The dodge rate calculation (without taking enemy's accuracy bonus from equipment/level into account) is:

Dodge rate (%) = evasion/(evasion+40) rounded down ofcourse

ex:

Nagato lv99, evasion = 69 -> dodge rate = 63%

Nagato lv99 + 2x Turbines (+10*2) evasion = 89 -> dodge rate = 68%

-> Bonus = 5%

I-401 lv99, evasion = 44 -> dodge rate = 52%

I-401 lv99 +2x Turbines (+10*2) evasion = 64 -> dodge rate = 61%

-> Bonus = 9%

Shimakaze lv99, evasion = 99 -> dodge rate = 71%

Shimakaze lv99 + 2x Turbines (+10*2) evasion = 119 -> dodge rate = 74%

-> Bonus = 3%

See the difference? Since there's no way of us reducing their accuracy, going for better evasion is the only way to increase subs' survivability.

Sure, any flagship DD or CL can crit your sub to red in 1 shot no matter what, but it does matter if u stack enough evasion to make that happens less likely.
