The Expy submarine game for the ST has a really bad scoring algorithm. I
don't know the details, but when I came in from a patrol after sinking a
carrier and two little ships, I was told I was being relieved of my
command because of poor performance. The local World War II expert says
I would have gotten a Congressional Medal of Honor for that performance.
It appears that they did not pay much attention to reality in this
program.
