I can't remember how far I've made it into the war; I haven't been in the position to play a good dedicated campaign for several years. My current commander's going to make it, one way or the other, to the surrender in May of 1945 after having gone to sea in September 1939. I think they call it
Contractual Immortality.
DID as a policy was something I swore off in the
Aces of the Deep era, so I'll do what is necessary to keep the current man (and his crew, etc) alive, whether that means a dozen reloads of a single torpedo shot against an aggressive destroyer or outright hacking of renown counts to pay for an RWR or homing torpedoes the instant they're available.
It ain't necessarily honest, but hey, I want to see the end of the war in stock before I put GWX3 in.
