Perhaps to draw a comparison, when's the last time you played a combat related flight simulation that didn't allow you to eject? Same thing.
better example from JScones short and sweet.

I hope mine explained some too. Its just this is one of the biggest features I think that was ever lost in any sort of subsim and I like to go off about it. Most of the time its either you survive or die they never account for crews that actually want to try to get off the boat which is a very important decission that should be made available....because alot of times its just like ejecting where its that split moment you have to save your crew that you might not again get before it sinks that last final time....

I think ubi probably pushed them too fast or they just ran out of time....so they cut it short and sweet and made it easier to die with the always present death screen....the content is there they just patched it to get it to the shelves.

not having an abandon ship option just makes it for a frustrating campaign....I mean how many people actually even make it passed the english channel without running into a mine? or losing their boat to depth charges? I have yet to make it passed 1940 in any campaign I have started. I never made it passed 1939 until I installed the RUB and Hollywood stuff that lets you actually survive longer....

Apparently it's an exclusion only with career patrols. According to this UBI post you can abandon ship/surrender in single missions. I've never played a single mission myself, so can't confirm.
but, I'm sure glad they put it in single player where it is NEEDED haha....unbelievable....

Excellent find though JScones. I'm glad to see at least they attmepted it...maybe it can be added to campaign? I will have to try that sh3 commander deal in the meantime.
