Does SHIII relive major battles and campaigns of the war?

SHIII does not. GWX and WAC do, and I think NYGM does as well. With GWX you can just read the manual and find out all the campaigns that are included, or with any of them you can look at the Mission Editor to see all the ships coming and going.

I can't post screenshots for GWX because seeing the historical battles doesn't interest me and I've never taken any. I wouldn't want to be in the Channel at any time, but especially not on June 6, 1944.

[edit] I was going to post a list of the historical operations included in GWX 2.1, but a quick look at the manual shows that the 'Historical Operations' section runs from pages 203-326; so that might be a bit tedious for both of us.

Damn,thats a shame.
My interest in the battles in SHIII are mainly visual,and to provide a little visual 'lift',enabling you to get away from the plain monotony of sailing for weeks across empty ocean.It would be great to at least take part in the battles.I think Uboats would have been great support units for regular combat vessels.
Being in the channel during D-Day?,now that would be funny.Dont forget to bring some sort of ear protection,as things are gonna get very loud! :rotfl:

As Sailor Steve related, most of the major German sea operations are scripted into GWX. See the list in the manual. Invasion of Norway, D-day invasion, foray by the battle cruisers Scharnhorst and Gneisenau, Bismarck's maiden voyage, the Channel dash, to name a few. A submarine cannot take part in a land battle, about all a sub can do is attack supply ships and warships going to and from the area of battle.

I know for a fact that the battle for Narvik is very well scripted in GWX. I was lying in wait, submerged in the fjord as the British destroyers where heading to and from Narvik on April 9, 1940.

U-boats were found not to be good support units for regular combat vessels. There underwater speed was way to slow. They had almost no firepower on the surface and were extremely vulnerable. Their strong point was stealth and the wolfpack attack at night. Of course this too diminished with the advent of Huff Duff and radar.

Like Sailor Steve mentioned, we did quite very huge research and efforts like GWx too because the campaign events are the main parts of our mod.
You could have a look at our manual too because there are all campaign events listed which have been implemented by me. All events have been detailed scripted.

In the mediterranean sea there are a few operations.
