Because once I figured it out it became too easy. All I had to do was outfly the AI and I couldn't lose.

I do see a single sub affecting the course of WWII as a bit far-fetched, but possibly some battles might have unfolded differently or happened on a different schedule.

That's one of the things Dan & Company claim for SH5. As I understand it warships that are sunk will stay sunk, and be replaced by different ones in later campaigns. Also, if you sink enough merchants in a given area the RN will start to concentrate on that area in an attempt to put a stop to your evil plans.

Did you ever play the old Microprose Red Storm Rising? I'm curious what your thoughts would be on that fictional campaign, where your success or failure moves the NATO forces closer to victory. If I recall, it did also have some level of randomness to it.

No, mostly because modern warfare never appealed to me. My interest in games is actually very limited.
