In addition to what everyone else has said......
Remember, these merchant ships are carrying tons and tons of WAR material. To me sinking a merchant ship loaded down with Sherman tanks, shells, P-38s....etc. is akin to bombing a munitions factory not a grammar school. The crews of those merchant ships are not strictly military, but they're not innocent civilians either. They know the risk they are taking and would ram or blast your U-boat out of the water without a second thought given the chance.
But, hey it's just a game anyway!
