Also; no magic soup.

wow, those are game breaking differences i guess... 2 years of the war are missing and historically, they were not very good years for submariners.

No you're right they are not at all gamebreaking , trouble is - those last two years of the war are in my opinion the best part.

The part where you are struggling just to stay alive , where you have to try to sink ships and evade. I was under for 6 hours the other night trying to evade destroyers.

In Sh5 it's all I can do to get the bloody things to chase me lol.

Apples and pears, horses and courses - what I like, you may not , why worry?
