Steel Wolves will have the same basic system as Silent War, but will be an order of magnitude more intricate. Some differences will be a more detailed combat display for convoy actions, as well as varied Allied aircover by war period.

The overall play of the war will be inverse to Silent War. In the Pacific you start with poor weapons and weaker boats and grow more and more powerful with each year. In the Atlantic, while your torpedoes are almost as bad as the American's, ASW is weak, and there are tons of 'loners' with which you can rack up your scores.

As time goes by however, your subs don't improve very much (until the Type XXI), while the Allied efforts make things more and more difficult.

It's an unpleasant fact of life for the Germans later in the war a third of all U-boats sunk were lost on their first patrol.
