It doesn't.

Asking for the war to change, however, is frankly silly. If you sink a major warship or liner you should not see it again. Past that? Hard to do.

Will the game decide that if X transports are sunk then the germans win the war or something? What-if scenarios at that level are a really bad idea, the results are invariably wrong—the sim would have to simulate whole world economic systems, etc. Impossible, and too much to ask for, IMO.

I'd be happy for ships to be named, one sunk, and it is gone. All of a class sunk, and all are gone, not to be seen again.

BTW, regarding what you see at base... there should be a system to claim a sinking manually. No "instant success" at all. You decide if you sank it, YOU make the claim, and for the type/tonnage. To make a good claim you see it sink. You might lose the claim with a sonar only claim, etc. After you RTB it can have a % chance to corroborate your sinking vs the actual results based on intel. At the end of a career—only then do you actually get credited with the real sinkings.

It would b e interesting to compare claims to reality...
You're right mate, it would be a bit hard and farfetched and as for the base map I was thinking something where the map showed the other uboats positions and claimed sinkings as they were reported in and the course of the war on the sea and land.
