Rather counterproductive to the war, if you ask me.

everyone has their own personal preferences, of course, and each is entitled to his or her own opinion. I enjoy the German campaign because it involves lots of convoy action, and surface action at night. You get a little bit of everything: action against unescorted merchants, which can be challenging depending on the situation, but very safe, and action against escorted convoys, hunter killer groups, and warship task forces. In the German campaign you get it all, "Happy Times" and very "unhappy times".

The US Pacific campaign is different. More action against individual ships and small convoys, very little action if any action against large convoys, but regular contacts with warship task forces. I dont know what the game will offer but these are the historical differences in the campaigns. I like them both and am looking forward to SHIV. just my opinion, FWIW. Joe S

Yeah, apart from sinking most of the Japanese merchant fleet, they didn't really do much.
