Of course first thing you can reduce the number of ships or randomize their routes on chart, maybe it is hard (programming I mean). I know a little bit of programming and I think it is very hard or the SH make 10 GB n HDD and took 3 days only for load the mission. It is annoying when I must patrol EG87 an example, and the most convoys and naval traffic are in DS15 or DG47. Of course you can divert you route, you don't take the striaght course on the patrol area (in real most uboats go in straight course, because of sortage of fuel), but its is quite impossible to find a convoy outside of convoys routes. Normally tou can find a struggler or something.

In the other hand, I had read somewhere here that the "damage meter" that percent who indicates the damage level of the sub was deleted because some wise guys do that or do bla bla. That is a stupid idea, I am very angry. In middle of 1942 with VIIC in mission on Venezuelean coast (why so far away) I was damage by a Hudson an Avenger almost dead in the water, not very hard flooding or something. I reload the saved game, I met few Hudson who make damage, flooding (about 5 minutes, the boat went down uncontrollable until 120 m), attack periscope destroyed and few damage not critical. I arrived in Lorient and surprise 76% damage, in conclusion not so hard. I don't know the real damage status, I don't understand what "hull damage" means, my CE officer indications not readeble (I played with English subtitles and German speak). Not important, but I must know about my sub are heavy, medium or light damage. I image Erich Topp asked his chief engineer about damage and chief engineer answered: "Her Topp it is a secret I will tell you in the base". Get serious.

Another stupid thing, in WW2 you hadn't be officer to maned a AA gun on the submarnes. At my type VIIC with type 2 connig tower with 2 AA's I must to put 2 officer at the gun, I put 1 just one guns shots, I put 2 sailor man no gaun shots. That is f.... stupid, who think that guys he or she can try that
