From my point of view beam points kind of kill the game, as they declare that the game map is not fitting the game system.
And, of course, I like the chance to be able to intercept naval units.

Don't forget that the Allies have CVs and DDs, Naval Bombers and much more to check and hunt and fight enemy subs. That is what the game is about. At least in my opinion.

How many subs do you think Germany has lol. Unless you are playing with soft limits, the number of subs is fixed.

No sh** genius

You played the SC PBEM game?

At best its incredibly monotonous dragging transports & navies around Africa.

1) group units as fleet that moves together and maintains relative position
2) designate destination and automove to it.
