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.

The game has a lot of nice detail touches, but they seemed to have fouled up the implementation.
