Actually this idea might have more going for it first appears. But with a slight modification....How about instead of just US subs which only have a few missions available for a short time and only for a handful of boats we take the idea further and do RN boats in the Atlantic too? Make it into an Allied sub campaign?
Think about it guys; tons of missions, for the whole war, many of them of a more unusual variety such as recon, landing agents, picking up agants, dropping off sabotage parties etc plus all the usual patrol missions and merchant attacks plus U Boat interdiction off the French coast. U class boats in the Med waged a very successful war on Axis convoys heading to north Africa. Many different sub classes and we've already got one, lend-lease S Boats. This also has overlap to the Pacific and SE Asia theatres. Perhaps that would be a good place to start as it could just be tagged onto existing campaign layers etc.
So what do you think? Would actually be more work than just US subs but think their addition would be more rewarding considering the wider possibilities for missions etc. :hmm:
