Side note 2: I love sinking targets, but I feel strongly we have too many of them in the seas and oceans. I almost never (or even just never) come back to base with my torpedoes still in tubes - and that happened to U-Boot IRL.

The problems is that SH3 takes no account of the Enigma code being broken and shipping being rerouted well away from known U-boat locations. Neither are you required to stay in contact and wait for other U-boats... or to hold your fire per BdU orders etc etc etc. There are many real life variables that cannot be effectively added in... that influence player tonnage ahuls in SH3.

If anything, there are fewer ships in SH3 waters than in real life.

Its just too easy to find ships in SH3.
