You should begin to see a shift in the second half of 1942 that gets progressively tougher. (at least inasfar as we could make it)
(very generally speaking)
1941- Armed merchants begin to proliferate
1942- Allied sensors really begin to get better... increase in air patrols
1943- Allied air coverage intensified greatly
1944-1945- ... Just come back alive sailor!
BBW can comment better on specifics concerning crew qualities and introduction of hunter-killer groups etc... From the beginning, we've always kept an eye to the progression of "intensity" throughout the war to mirror history as best we can within SH3.... Pretty cool stuff. I wish I had the foresight to record some of our teamspeak conversations.... so much ground has been covered.
Sorry for the ramble, I hope I answered your question.
