Default No wonder the Germans lost...

If SH3 is anything to go by. Between magnetics prematuring or passing under ships without exploding to contacts bouncing off hulls no matter what impact angle.

And that's why I'm speaking Japanese right now.

It depended on other tactical error, as did during the war, and no eels that are not from the start was really good....

I understand the American torpedoes were malfunctioning all the time too, at the start of the war. As long as just some of the torpedoes detonate, it's a question of who has more of them, or more airplanes, or more tanks, or better logistics. The Germans didn't have the economic strength to win a war against USA and/or Soviet Union and it might be that they couldn't have even tackled the British Commonwealth - being the underdogs economically.

I'm usually dead by '42 so defeat and surrender in '45 would be great

Yeah, I've never lasted until 1945. Complacency usually gets me by the end of 1942

I know that feeling. It would be so great to be able to surrender in 1945!

I was gonna suggest selling t-shirts to that effect, but then it occurred to me the concession wouldn't have many customers.

This is realistic. Something many of the modders strive for.
