I disagree with shelving the game. There is a lot fun and value to be had here.

I do agree that the early ends amount effectively to a bug. That is: they really interfere with game play and with the enjoyment of the game. Also, it is not realistic. Competent skippers usually averaged 6 to 8 patrols in a boat. A good skipper, who started early in the war, could easily have twice that many, and some did.

I strongly urge the developers to modify the career code to allow a player to have a total career of perhaps 18 patrols between the first day and the last day of the war. That could be easily split in 2 or 3 tours (boats) of 9 to 6 each. This would really add to the attractiveness of career play.
