Campaign - Abandon Ship next to friendly port - Game Over!

Hi All,

This game runs from extremely fun to out-right bloody stupid with every mission.

1st mission in the '84 campaign - sail to Narvik to stop the Spetsnaz, no problem, sunk 2 subs.

2nd Mission - Stop the amphibious landing at Narvik. No problem, sunk everything (11 ships) but got damaged and as I can't shake a bloody helicopter, which never runs out of fuel, I have to abandon ship - Right next to the Friendly Narvik Harbour (which is part of Friendly Norway, next to Friendly Sweden, next to Friendly Finland and 650km from Russia) - Game Over!!!!! - "you we're picked up by Russians and were killed in captivity" - WHAT???????????

It's the one thing so far which really turns me off the game. I love the difficulty levels but the stupid "game logic" ruins it just when you think you're having fun!

Once it's a bit more developed it should been a really good game as there are some aspects I really love but the "beta-ness" of it so far really starts to annoy at times.

PS If you have a damaged hull and can't submerge are there any tips for getting rid of a weapon-less helicopter?
