I feel that the element of luck involved when out on patrol is exactly what the game needed. It took me a while to come around to it though.
I take it upon myself to act exactly as would a real captain. If I find a juicy convoy, I'll make ships sink regardless of my "wouldn't it be great" BDU wishful thinking. Now if I find a convoy escorted by a capital ship, and BDU has asked me to do what I can to sink a few of those bad boys, then that's priority number one.
I figure this way, I'll complete the objectives that I can and progress through my career realistically. I will be happy leaving it to chance, as it really was.
The real benefit to this is that it will actually lend replayability to a campaign mode that I once feared would lack it completely.
