When SH4 become monotonous

[WernherVonTrapp]

I still play , but not nearly as often as I used to. Right now, it's been about 2 days since I fired it up. Certainly, my work schedule has something to do with this but even on my off days, I usually will play for only a couple of hours a day instead of the all-day affair it used to be. I believe monotony is inevitable in all routine, especially the nonobligatory or surrogate ones. I'm sure that I too will eventually fall by the SHIV wayside, but for now, I trudge along at a snail's pace of endurance instead of the headlong plunge of interest that once preceded me.

In the meantime, I'll probably continue to sort my priorities and continue to immerse myself into the vast Pacific while my interest still lingers.

Well, SH4 is still a new toy to me but I can't help thinking that if the war had somehow managed to go on for a decade or more with no advances past a certain point, the surviving sub skippers may have felt the same way.

Has anyone considered a "SH4: Pacific Wolves 1946" variant that could potentially extend the war to that year or beyond? Perhaps an alternate history in which the Pacific theater waged on after the demise of Germany and the setback of the development of the U.S. atomic bomb. The U.S. could put to use captured type XXI boats while the Japanese managed to produce the I-500 in quantity but even greater advances in ASW would make things just as challenging.

Wait ... that's silly. Before long there would be submarine launched missiles if the world's economy survived two more years of war. Boring.

By the end of the war, the submarines were largely running out of targets. Extending the war past the end would really serve little purpose, unless you could come up with something else for the boats to do, such as launching cruise missiles or landing raiding parties.

Well that confirms ....

I'm not sure how to post entirely serious.
