If I sink the three or four British CVs in and around the NorthEast Atlantic within six months, does that impact the battle for Malta?
If I manage to sink 15 or 20 of the really big T3 tankers in 1940, does that cause a difference in the battle of britain?
If I sink a significant number of destroyers in convoy attacks, does that weaken escorts in the atlantic convoy system?
If I sink several passenger transports during 1942/43, does that impact the planning/execution of Overlord?
wash, rinse, repeat for the pacific theater with the fleet boats!

No you're not playing a fictional scenario.
And the reason is that whatever you do, and no matter how many ships you sink the strategic conditions WILL NOT CHANGE.
The course of the war is set in stone, from the moment you sail out in 1939 until 1945.
The missions are generated on historically correct data and there is nothing you can do about it.
Thats why as good as it is, the dynamic campaign in SH 3 is just a very very impressive random mission generator.
