Again, this is a mod, but no devices were changed, nor were the submarines changed in any way.

Status: offline 		It would be cool if you could pull up a list of your "ace" sub boat captains. Even cooler if each ship has a "battle history" menu you could see which surface battles it has fought in as the war goes on. Heck you could apply this to all sorts of things, land units, land commanders. Perhaps even the map would record sea battles fought, by keeping the little crossed sabers on the map and when you moused over the hex it would show the date and the battle results. Have it where you could turn in on and off. I am sure it is one of those cool things that would require a lot of code writing, but it would be cool.

Will be fun to see which Japanese SS do what.  (Expect them all to sink of course...)

Status: offline 		Unfortunately for me, in a battle with a BB, AV, and a real DD, poor I-165 will not be able to make a repeat performance. However, that one sub took down a lot of tonnage in the 2 weeks it was deployed. Basically, it got 4 AKs, 1 BB and 1 AV before its demise. I had it positioned well in a trade route, another shall take over its patrol zone.

Status: offline 		I have a question about this.  Note in the description

DMS Bergamot cannot reach attack position over SSI-165
SSI-165 is forced to surface!

I see this all the time, where an ASW craft cannot gain attack position, yet still scores hits.  I know there was a spread to the charge pattern, but how is this explained?  Just curious
