Hi there,

I bought the steam version for PC and was also suprised by the quality of the game for the small price.

I turned on a lot of options which made the campaign more difficult, but I still won the German campaign in the first week of October 1940 and lost only 1 sub and 4 destroyers (one during a battle between my only SAG and a Britsh SAG, two sunk by British subs, one sunk by ramming from Gneisenau when she evaded British sub torpedos). So the British subs did more damage to me than all the rest of the RN...
I share your opinion regarding the sub matter. Maybe the option to sink all merchants after the escorts are sunk should only work for surface ships.
Sinking escorts is far too easy, but I think it will be hard to fix this in the game mechanics.

After my experiencs with the German campaign I think I won't play the British one focussing on defending against subs. Other than that - great game and fun.
