You might want to give OM a try

I was not comparing OM to SH3, as I have no expereience playing it. SH3 may be more advanced than OM. But OM stands up exceedingly will to any of the supermods in the PTO for SH4. You may have a good point vis a via SH3. Luker, who designed OM, notes that if you do not sink 10,000 tons (or complete the mission?), you will not get promotions, renown, etc. Plus the mod gets harder as the game progresses as the enemy gets stronger. I guess what he is saying is that you may not be as successful with the same tactics in 1943 as you were in 1939, probably because their are more warships and accurate air patrols to deal with.
