That's putting it mildly. German sighting systems were better and let the gunnery officers get on target faster. The downside was that they required better attention and the sighting officer tired faster. British guns were every bit as good, but there were ongoing problems with the shells themselves. Armor? Even Tiger only had 9" on the main belt, while the Germans all had between 11.8" and 13.8". If by underwater protection you mean compartmentation, they were about equal. As for anti-torpedo protection, only the British had any, only on a couple of experimental installments, and only at the very end of the war.
I can get you the specifics if it helps. I don't know how that stuff works in the game.
