I've never opened any of the editor files, and I never intend to, as I don't want to see the magic behind the curtain.

But I can tell you with GWX, yes, the war progresses as you would expect.

Air cover gets more dense, including night attacks. Merchants start off unarmed, and by 1941 they are armed, and later on they all seem to be. Starting off you will find plenty of single merchants, later not so much. Starting off escorts may be light, later on they have plenty. And the escorts' detection ability only gets better as the war goes on, too.

My advice is this: Stay out of shallow water, and never attack a convoy with less than 100% hull integrity. When you are forced to dive, go all the way into the red by 40 meters.
