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.

Bear with me, I was picking on you before regarding the use of the term "fictional."

The STRATEGIC course of the war is fixed in SH3.

The experience of the player, however, is not based on some historical table of which sub was sent on what mission on what date. It is fictitious and approximates reality by sending you "where BdU would have sent a sub from your flotilla at the time you go on patrol." It's "like history."

Once I'm on patrol in U-xxxx (pick your number), it's a sandbox. I can simulate going anywhere that the sub model can "physically" navigate.
