The one thing AOD had as an advantage over SH3 were the wolfpacks. HOWEVER, wolfpacks in AOD were very unrealistic. In real life wolfpacks set off from their base together and stayed together for the entire patrol (you couldn't 'radio in' for a wolfpack). Wolfpacks also had very rigid rules regarding the positioning of each boat in a line of boats, and you'd have to stay in that position for perhaps weeks until one of the boats established contact with a convoy.

In short, AOD's wolfpacks were nothing like the reality, and any game that achieved a realistic wolfpack feature would be hated by many players due to the movement restrictions and other gameplay issues.
