Lothar von Arnauld de la Perière was Commander of U-35 and U-139 in WWI and is the highest scoring of all time (446,708 GRT) .. he only fired 4 torps in his career, and one missed. It was much different then WWII.
So obviously we could get SH to look like a WWI game, but can we get it to play like one?
(I am not knocking the idea, I have far more interest in WWI sims then WWII if I had a choice.)
