You'd do well to get one of the mod's with the improved campaign layers. I remember my first days of playing stock when the game was released and sinking large passenger liner troop transports like they were going out of style. It's really no fun when they just throw all of the juicy targets at you unescorted. The proverbial "fish in a barrel" you know?

It's been a while since I played, but from what I remember from tater's improved campaign layers and the Run Silent Run Deep mod, they make it much harder and therefore much more rewarding to put the biggies down.
