what and how exactly is the stock campaign really dynamic ...?

I know it's been advertised as much but do your actions really affect the outcome of the war ?

Do sinking certain ships mean they will never appear again ?

Do your actions in the campaign affect the difficulty progressively ?

Or is it merely dynamic in that the game responds to your actions by sending a taskforce to your location ?

It would be nice if the campaign could match the dynamicness of the falcon 4. 0 campaign ...

I still own and play Falcon4, so many years have passed and F4 is still awesome with all the mods and fans keeping it alive.:up: As for SH5, i just bought it a few days ago and i'm trying to learn it with all the mods.

Well, at least it's not scripted (as tutorial mission, lol :har:). Most ships and convoys appears randomly.

No.

May be only big and named one. Not sure, didn't sink them...

Do your actions in the campaign affect the difficulty progressively ?
No.

Not even sure about taskforces and planes. Didn't play much, only september 1940 now, but never was catched by DD or plane after sinking merchant by cannon and going away surfaced.

Hi Charlie,
It's a Sim. So If you're talking about the stock campaign , there's nothing particularly wrong about it. If your talking about an "un-modded" game, yes, then you've got problems. A lot of the mods are game fixes, and having them installed makes the stock campaign work fine.
So with a few good mods, yes the stock Campaign can be Dynamic and dangerous (talking about IRAI here).
The game does stick to the historical outcome of the war (the Stock Campaign only goes to 1943 anyway, I think).
There's no need to affect difficulty, As the war progresses, it gets hotter and hotter for the Kriegsmarine.
Hope this helps a bit.
