I found (to my dismay in the beginning, now its fun and challenging) that in GWX you have to be carefull. In stock SHIII you shamelessly could go for the 100k club and end up around that number (never quite hit it though, my highest was 98k). Now, I'm always skulking, even as early as 1940. Taking big risks can achieve a lot but also cost you a lot. I don't do harbors anymore, since getting out is virtually impossible after sinking anything. All in all, like it must have been back IRL.
