The map updates can be good to get a general idea of where to find targets and what places to avoid. And as previously mentioned; find out if there are any ports worth the risk, time, fuel and torpedoes.
The standing orders part is something that I am very proud to have in the program now. It was quite a long story from discovering the "U-Boaters guide" (an online ressource for players of AOTD), obtaining Hans's permission to use them (though nobody knew where he was), finding an english speaker with the necessary knowledge who would help me extend them to cover the whole war (Brad), having them translated to German (Georg) and last not least integrating them into the program. I am glad to hear you said "it gives sense of being part of a war", because it was exactly this kind of thing I was trying to do with it.
