The main difference is that in h.sie's work YOU have an influence. It's no longer a matter of luck whether you get into contact with a convoy that has AI subs attached. Instead, your finding of the convoy matters.

At present there is absolutely no advantage (only disadvantage) in sending contact reports (in the middle of the Atlantic). But back then U-boats had to send them (not during the whole war). With h.sie's work you now have an incentive to shadow a convoy and send contact reports! It's no longer seeing a convoy and attacking it.
Yes, I agree, that is a very important point, which I had forgotten.

Actually AOD simulated the torpedoes from the other UBoats. So much so, that you could even get hit by one of them! (As in real life, where there were some close calls)
Interesting, I never observed that.

Clearly then, a new wolf-packs mod by H.sie will make a significant difference to SH3, and I withdraw my doubts (originally stated privately, but, as H.sie says, subsequently stated publicly with my permission.)
