I agree. Subs are probably the most independent vessels as far as freedom of action since the frigate. Carriers, while fun are just too far up the food chain for truly 'independent' action.

Now there is something I'd go for- a Frigate sim! Set in the days of Napoleon! Horatio Hornblower and all that!

It would be fun to be captain of a destroyer. You get a area to patrol. you have to sink enemy targets. like uboats, freighters, sometimes you might get called to a battle that is happening. (ex uboats attacking a convoy, or escorting a group of ships, bombarding shorelines (would be fun to be part of D- day.)

I love the idea of having one all in one WWII sub game.
Where all sides and subs and theaters are playable.
Tis but a dream.
But i like to think one day....
