I've always had that niggling in the back of mind while playing SH3/4-hindsight is 20/20.
Our knowledge of WWII events may lead us to play somewhat unrealistically. We sometimes put ourselves in a position to take advantage of our knowledge-be it historic events or knowledge of different tactics/equipment issues.
EXAMPLE-I was patrolling near Norway in April 1940. I worked my way up to Narvik because I
knew what would take place there. I rationalized with the idea that Bdu
ordered me there during the operation. Of course I knew the Warspite would be cruising thru there eventually.
I try to avoid that though. I go where ordered and take advantage of any mission orders, but sometimes, it is hard.
Just my 2 cents.
