American Submarine warfare is the opposite of the battle of the Atlantic. Basically I've found that my odds of surviving the war in the Pacific as being about 70-80 percent. Surviving the war as a U-boat skipper? About 0%. But it's fun to see how far I can get.
And it's nice to see 60 ship convoys once in a while (I scripted my SH3 campaign with looping convoys because the random ones suck IMO). By scripting them I can have very different escort configurations, sometimes with sweepers 10,000 meters away from the main body. And after scripting a couple hundred convoys--there's no way of knowing what you'll run into. The downside is they don't go into ports but just get close and turn around and head back. It'd rare to see the same convoy twice in a career though.
