Please, enlighten me. If submarines played such a good role in WWII, name one occasion off the top of your head where a submarine caused an astounding upset in the outcome of a battle or the entire war.

The Battle of the Atlantic.  Germany almost strangled England to death with her U-boats, not just in one war but two.  There was also the Battle of the Philippine Sea, in the opening hours of the battle, US submarines sank two Japanese large carriers effectively ruining the IJN's hope of being able to mount any sort of offensive operations for the remainder of the war and killing off of what little remained of the IJN veteran and experienced pilots.

I hate defending Stealth, but that isn't a fair question. Submarines were never designed to control a water way but were instead used to destroy the vital supply lines necessary to a nation. Sure there were a few submarines that successfully attacked and sank capital ships (Royal Oak, Yorktown, Ark Royal, etc) but that isn't their role.

If Germany had focused their efforts on a submarine force and it was large enough to make Donitz happy at war start (300+ boats), I'm certain the Battle of the Atlantic would of forced Britain to seek some peaceful arrangement out of necessity. I am not implying they would surrender, submarines aren't by themselves war winners, you still need something that can dominate/control the water.

However until Aces High gets a merchant fleet to interdict, it is pretty useless for submarines to make an appearance.

edit: too busy at work, AKAK beat me to it.

You're a young kid and I'm envious of you. When I was your age, I would of loved to have games like Aces High but nothing like it existed. Instead, I was making paper airplanes and dipping the lead airplane's tail in gasoline and lighting it so it mimic an aerial dogfight, flames and all.

I'm sorry you took offense to what I posted, but my opinion stands. I hope you have a happy childhood, regardless.

Do yourself a favor, use a pair of pliers to hold the airplane and throw it after you light it.

I learned that one the hard way, that was the day I was taught the rate that gasoline burns.
