Then you have Cold Waters where you sink more boats than the Soviets actually had in the Atlantic. My main complaint was more about the "Oh noes! We lost our only sub in the North Atlantic! Whatever will we do!?" type of ending where you die and the West surrenders outright. I like the death endings in Silent Hunter much more.
