Yeah. I decided to make a training mission that overwrites the convoy attack mission because I felt the convoy attack was unrealistic. Real commanders would get their first taste of that during their first real convoy attack. There's also no AA training because I doubt that submarine training involved shooting down real aircraft. Basically the idea is to get more of a feeling of being in the final evaluation stages of a command course at the Groton Submarine School. All the courses take place off the New England coast near Martha's Vineyard (close to where the real sub school is located), and it gives players chance to visit places like New York Harbour and Boston (assuming SH4 models them).

Later I plan to build a final 'cruise' patrol where the player navigates to Bermuda and back, with exercises along the way, just as real sub skippers did.
