sub choice dilema

Ever since SH1 I've been in the habit of running multiple careers, one from each available flotilla. I keep a record of who is where and when, and run one full patrol before switching to the oldest one again.

For me this is both more and less realistic at the same time. Less, because obviously no one can really be two different people and have different lives, but more because realistically captains didn't ordinarily get to choose what type of boat they would command; they took what they were assigned. Realistically you should roll a die and use the result to choose between the available commands, taking what fate deals you. I can't do that, and I can't bring myself to choose what I know I couldn't really choose, so I take the option to do them all at the same time.
