Hey Scott, a few more comments / questions.

As the difficulty increases, which of these are affected?
1. Number of destroyers with convoys (I know this increases as difficulty increases)
2. Accuracy of destroyer depth charges (better chance of getting sunk)
3. Greater chance of the destroyer picking you up on sonar

I can tell number 1 but I don't know about the other two. Just curious.

Also on the Sim setting / difficulty, it appears to me that the submarine is only firing straight line torpedoes- torpedoes from World War I and the early 30s- where the submarine had to be pointing in the direction of the torpedo shot.

What you could do is press a button on the screen from the periscope view and have a little box pop up and the user could input estimated angle on bow and estimated ship speed to calculate an angle shot. You could have a wheel of fortune scroll down numbers to pick from for each input number.

I just checked and it looks like the torpedoes go where ever the periscope is pointed.

Another thing you could do way on down the line is have an option to create your own encounter- kind a like the app Pacific Fleet. you could select the ships from a drop-down menu and maybe use your finger to draw out their direction heading on that tactical map or something.
