I miss Silent Hunter 1

I don't know. I'm not seeing wimpy DDs. I was on my first patrol in Balao heading for the E China Sea when I ran across a convoy. I lined up between escorts and put torpedoes into 2 large freighters. Escorts came in my area but I evaded. I stayed too close hoping to polish off a cripple when I was spotted and forced deep. I was damaged severely even after dodging under the layer. I was just able to save the boat and limp away. Both periscopes out and my battery would not charge above 40. Plus, even after diverting to Mios Woendi to top off fuel, my battery was not repaired and I had a fuel leak that caused me to run out before I even made it to Johnston IS.

I do miss the radar screen from SHI, though.
