Hi Leitender,
I agree with you that in the early part of the war commanders could probably in the most cases identify their targets well enough. However, during the later parts I don't think so.
Especially during late-war convoy attacks the log in SH3 is completely unrealistic. You still get the true numbers although you might be more than 15km away when the ships sinks and you have never really seen it (because you made a long-distance shot during night). I think you agree that this is very unrealistic.
Fact is that over-claiming does not exist in SH3 although it happened frequently (just read about Brandi or the T5 claims). I don't know the u-boat's claimed sunken tonnage, but I wouldn't be surprised if it differs by a factor of roughly two from the confirmed sinkings during WWII. Nothing of this is reflected in SH3.
Regards, LGN1
