SHCE is quite good and runs great under DOSBOX.

My two gripes compared to AOD are:

(1) The patrol maps are convenient, but they also mean that you cannot stay with convoy for days and days. The maps are just too small for that.

(2) There was a serious over abundance of enemy traffic.

It had a very easy to use mission editor and there is something like 600-1,000 custom missions available. Also, there quite a number of third party utils. You could set your boat and the patrol zone you wanted to go to etc...

With the maps, there was a lot of hunting in the shallows. Also, it introduced missions other than just hunt for shipping.

The ASW AI in my opinion is not as good as AOD, but still far exceeds the SH3/4 series.
