Thank you very much to you both for your answers. It's always good to read the views of other comrades. I think it's not bad to try to find a game where the odds are more equitable, and I think in the Pacific theater of war that occurs in much greater proportion. Of course it all depends on the skill that everyone can develop. From what I've read Silent Hunter IV incorporates some improvements over SHII and that makes it more interesting. There is another component of ideological character to be taken into account, I do not feel comfortable playing a German submarine commander. With everything honorable and professional that may have been the Kriegsmarine, fighting for the wrong cause whose aims were dark. My generation (1950) was educated in the belief that the Allies were the good, the bad and the shaft. In this regard I believe that Japan was a danger that had to be crushed, a country of bloodthirsty fanatics and they deserved everything they got in retaliation. So sink ships and send to back a few hundred children of the rising sun, it can make you feel better after each collapse, knowing he has helped to accelerate the fall of that dangerous regime for the civilized world.
