Hi Steve
If you can, pick up a couple books about the U 505. If I recall correctly this boat was considered a bad luck boat as it left port, started it's patrol and had to return so many times that the crew was accused of cowardice.
I've always been interested the this boat because I live right outside Chicago and have visited it repeatedly as I grew up. Anyway,This is what got me thinking about the concept originally.

As for the real life percentages-I don't know. I tried to pick something that seemed to work for me. Too few (2-5% and you never see any reason to install it, Too much 50% and it gets old real fast-but keep in mind that after 1945 everything was going to hell for the Germans real fast. I attempted to simulate that behavior. With the way Commander is structured you can pick whatever you desire. Same as the actual settings themselves-infinitely adjustable and you don't need the Mini-Tweaker to do it either.
