There is no limit I know of, but more platforms means slower simulation. Even the last campaign missions are quite slow and time compression does not reach indicated values.
But that for sure depends on hardware you use. So simply try it.

This is my bane as well. You can have someone else make up the missions you are desiring. or make them up yourself. I like to hunt things, so I will make up a few missions and use random box for them, so I do not know precisely where they are at, then hunt them down. You can develope some good ones as you get more tuned into the mission editor. But i agree, that all the missions and campaigns pretty much put you right into it. I like not knowing what is there, like int he good old days when we would be on patrol. We would just snoop around in a specified area and if we found a contact, we would radio it in, and usually we would get orders to track it and if possible make SPA's on it. It is all about the thrill of the hunt.

Have you tried the Red Storm Rising campaign or Sicilian Wedding ? Those missions have some far reaching goals.

Sicilian Wedding is huge !

Some of the mission i make have random start points i realsed none so far, but they vary depending on what i want to do, most of them even at compression have to be played over a period of days to get to a goal or track a submarine.

made on where i had to transit to kings bay and wait for a boomer (longest mission id ever done) spread over about 12 missions for transit and pick up then home (used same mission map home) that took nearly a month to do in real time you would be looking 3 maybe touching 4 months so in all it went well, second time i did it i rammed the boat i was ment to be trailing so that one wasnt so good.

My goal in Sicilian Wedding was to do the equivalent of an entire campaign in a single mission. That way, weapon conservation becomes very important! Also, many of the situations in Sicilian Wedding are based on my real-life experiences while serving on a nuclear sub in the Med.

Red Storm Rising is, as the name suggests, based on the novel. The scenarios are my interpretation of the storyline. I hope you enjoy the campaign as much as I did creating it!

I'm about 1/2 way (?) thru Sicilian Wedding, about to sneak into the harbor, and enjoying it immensely. Even got some deep water CZ contacts (merchants tho).

In Sicillian Wedding, can we confirm with those who played recently (or even better if Bill can answer that) that taking a picture of the French sub, it is now fixed and we can actually take a picture and carry on with the next event (I think it was due to the 1.04 version...)

Really looking forward to re try that one (I stopped at that point)

Thank you
