If you'd crack a book and learn a little history (or as you call it "some such bunk"), you'd know that Lockwood was big on giving his skippers leave after 4 or 5 patrols so as to keep them fresh. Many of them were bumped up the chain after just a few patrols. Imagine that, a sub simulation that actually simulates what happened.

Do I agree that "realistic career length" should be an option? Sure.

Who to blame for the SH4 career structure bug?

1) Lockwood: for bumping skippers up the line

2) Grunt: for pointing out the problem and backing it with facts

3 The dev's: for borking the un-borked SH3 career structure beyond recognition

How is this a bug? Please clarify. It seems to me it works as intended. Now if you are given the option to continue on, this would be a feature. Now please clarify how this is construed as a bug.

Seems to me if it is something you do not like is it shelved as a bug. Very odd.....
