However, the idea of being assigned to sink 2 battle ships here, sink 1 aircraft carrier there, now sink 100,000 of shipping in this other place, is not realistic by any means.

I wouldnt mind the "Engage Warships" type campaign. BUT being as SH5 is geared to reward TONNAGE ONLY (just like SH3 and 4)..the last thing I want to do is engage DD's or Corvettes. Just not worth the torpedos.
I also have to agree that yet....BdU DID assign Uboats OCCASAIONALLY to concentrate on warships. But this was never the norm. And as others have said BdU never said "I want you to sink 2 Battleships".
Missions for Uboats were targets of oportunity.... not hard a fast Sink X type ships or Sink 100,000tons of Cargo (which is historically rediculous to begin with.)
