Well, it's not the problem of sporting.  It is the problem of realistic.
During the champaign against Soviet Amphibous Assult at Iceland, one of
my subs sneaked into the center of the Red Fleet, and fired 20 Tigerfish
and 4 Mk8 torpedos at the same time, with her 6 torpedo tubes!

The other thing I don't feel satisfied is the poor dodging capability of
the ships.  We should not depend on the hit ratio of the incoming missles
or torpedos to avoid been hit.  There should be a way to use chaffs, decoy
torpedos to distract the threatens, as well as some sophiscated movements
to dodge with a single command.

Well, I havn't finished the fist set.  Thus I can't say anything else.
