I've only played for a few hours so far, but it has me hooked so far!

Just picked this up off of steam 2 days ago. Love what you have done and the price is very reasonable. As for improvements I would like to be able to give movement orders from the map. Best game I have played in years hands down.

In late 1940 in my dynamic campaign as the Germans and have sunk 2 Fleet Carriers, All 3 Royal Navy Battlecruisers, 3 Battleships (2 Queen Elizebeth class and 1 R class) as well as 40 more escorts plus 200000 tons of merchant shipping per month. I'd be surprised if Churchill is still in office. Also had a memorable battle where Z17 took on 2 British destroyers and sank one and chased the other one off with heavy damage. Unfortunately there have been some losses particularly among the heavy cruisers 2 pocket battleships went down but they accounted for Hood in the process. I also lost Blucher and Prinz Eugen but Prinz Eugen sank HMS Warspite with torpedoes before being scuttled.

I'm just entering 1940 and my uboats have been taking a heavy toll on enemy fleets - not convoys. If you group them up, the wolfpacks in an area can make devastating attacks. I've sunk a few BC's and a BB with submarine attacks before disengaging. It seems to have given my fleets leeway to crush the convoys as the British heavyweights have already been sunk.

I did/am currently doing the same thing with both surface forces and U boats. At least half of the capital ship kills were from sudden hull breach syndrome, curtesy of the Uboot arm. They also accounted for most of the merchant tonnage. I find 4 type IX uboots to be devastating hit and run weapons. I do wish the Royal Navy would escort their ships better but that might be because I sank most of the Destroyers and light cruisers.

Edit Forgot to mention this but the Ubooten sank the HMS Nelson as well. I'd love to be a fly on the wall of 10 Downing Street right now...
