What an interesting thing. Stock SHIII had so many single-ships and contacts that most players were returning home after less than a week at sea; never even getting to their patrol zones, and collecting 100,000 tons or more in single shipping.

It took several modders several tries to give us what we have now: very few single-ship contacts. yes, it's true there were a whole lot of single-ship sinkings. It's also true that most U-boats spent entire patrols without ever encountering a target at all.

Adding more single-ship contacts will not be more realistic. Fun, maybe, but not realistic.
