No, it's not a fact, it's an opinion. In fact, multiplayer is probably the least realistic way to do a wolfpack.

I have always thought multiplayer to be a poor representation of reality in general, or at least when it comes to submarine simulations. Frankly, I don't understand the zeal for it.

Sometimes packs were able to attack as a unit, and sometimes they ended up attacking one by one as the convoy passed their strung-out positions. That kind of variability is only available in a single-player campaign.

I would like to get radio reports later on what u-boat claimed what type of kill, but information related to a pack attack would only be know fully after the patrol was over.

Simple remedy for all the chit-chat: Huff-Duff equipped Allied ships who will home in on your signal if you are too profligate with the radio, just as they did in real life.
