This is what I really liked in previous Pacific SubSims

My first computer game/sim was Silent Service in 1984. I've played just about every sub sim that's come out with the exception of the Aces Series and Sub Battle Simulator. I'm partial to the Pacific campaign because in my view, it offers a better mix of merchant AND combat surface ships.

Hunting only convoys gets old after a while. What I'd like to see in SH4 is the continued opportunity for task force engagements (hopefully introduced historically and in the right locations) with the Japanese Imperial Navy along with merchant shipping. Another feature of Silent Hunter was the occasional encounter with another submarine. I don't know how often this actually happened but it would be interesting to include the possibility of a dual with an enemy submarine.

Lifeguard patrols, recon, and being placed on station in areas of high combat activity are also on my list. Perhaps a higher level of in patrol mission changes would be good as intel is developed on enemy activity.
