The beauty of doing the Pac theatre, though, is that we will have a more varied diet of missions to undertake: Life-guard duties for downed pilots, photo recon and insertions (if the game info is accurate.) Not that U-boats were entirely limited to sinking shipping, of course, but we seldom see it in sub sims.
I can imagine that squeezing through a narrow, shallow and heavilly defended strait to take photos of some harbour or other is going to be pretty tense no matter what the date is. I doubt it is going to be a clever move to shoot everything that moves in a mission this time around, there will be other factors to take into acount. I can't wait.
