Dang...

Ahh well ell... A shame that the dev team, didn't use a set up that was the same for each side but with set parameters as I was thinking of... U.S progression based on tonnage & on the KM side, with length of service instead of tonnage.. or maybe reversed instead... U.S. side, length of service... KM side, tonnage sank/sunk...
Thanks Fifi... was worth a shot... never hurts to ask.

if you play both sides you will notice some fundamental differences.
some things work differently.
Fifi's DW team tried very hard to set-right some of the things that were different between the German side and US side but we could not figure out some things. so, we reached a point where we were satisfied and started playing again (vs modding, fixing, etc).
when i decide to play DW (as i am at the moment), i decide which of the eight theatres i want to play in and/or which boat (8 or 10 boats) i want to drive and go do that.
that's different from the US side but hey, you're looking for diversion, right?

With regards to figuring things out, can understand that.. after a fashion. I used to do some minor coding way... way back in the days of simpler coding, that even back then... if you mis typed any segment of the code.. any # of things could either go wrong or end up with wild, crazy end results... some unexpectedly good or horribly wrong... ending up with having to go back & find where the mess up occurred... usually with hair tearing results...
I know that isn't the same, but in a way, it is... a goof up with any of it, invariably ends up with trying to figure out the error & having to repair the damage... the more things change, the more some aspects stay the same.
All in all, I enjoy rolling about as a Uboat skipper, a U.S skipper, a RN one... & added to that list now, a soviet one. Still awaiting the opportunity to do so as a IJN one... when ( & if...) that ever gets to a stage of being released...
Don't misunderstand.. I have a lot of respect for modders... & don't mind being a guinea pig, if it is in the pursuit of helping to further the betterment of SH, be it SH3, SH4 or even SH5...
