Since quite a number of boats made their transfers by going on patrol from one base with one commander and ended that patrol at a new base with a new commander (see Blair's description of switching subs from Pearl to Australia and vice-versa), and since this is more or less how transfers were done with SH3, I'm wondering why it doesn't work this way in SH4.
Not to mention, our boats are rearmed and refueled instantly, instead of taking a couple of hours, as was the historical reality.
I totally agree with you on this point, would be cool if that would be changed.
One thing I'd love to see implemented: You don't really know if you sunk a ship unless you see it sink (through periscope or binoculars). In reality skippers often didn't know if they hit a ship and if they did they often didn't know whether they damaged or sunk it.
Another thing: you should get credit for damaged ships, like getting half the renown and half the tonnage of the ship you damaged.
