Default Why o' why

Hi all,
Say, does this happen to you on your way back to home port, too?
You're out of ammo.
You're out of torpedoes.
And the enemy is popping up everywhere.
Hardly ever saw the enemy on the way to my mission but on the way back... They're everywhere, they're everywhere!

That's a programed feature in the "Dynamic Campaign". The game actually weighs several different factors in producing specific occurrences during a patrol. It takes into account your torpedo supplies, remaining fuel, sustained damage (hull or equipment) and modifies the percentage of occurrence based on them. Yes, it's a cruel world when you won't see a fat convoy or Task Force until you're so depleted in supplies, or strength, that you can do little about it!! It's actually programed into the Campaign game.

Oh, I'm very aggressive. I chase the enemy down. I don't have the patients to wait like you guys do.
