my understanding is that in RL hunting uboats almost never met. so can someone explain why this isnt good enough or wouldnt work:
you see a convoy- you radio its position.>random radio traffic generated.> attacks randomly generated against your convoy at different areas. more radio calls made = more attacks generated. this means escorts randomly get diverted and attack an area hence freeing you up for an attack. obviously huff-duff makes it dangerous to make radio calls as the war progresses. or;
you pick up either the random depth charging of a distant convoy or random radio calls from supposed other boats.

its just a question of random event generation. if you want to see other boats, then they can be presented as just another skimmer, is it a friendly or enemy?

i think the real opportunity for actual visuals would be some sort of animated sequence for milkcow meetings mid atlantic.
