Yep, the AI is too easy in stock, you can fight dd's on the surface. One round from a deckgun would send any sub back to port. The AI is far from realistic in stock, even with mods you can take damage that should kill you easily and keep on going.
You hit the D dive key your diving until you stop it. Use P for periscope depth or manage it yourself.
If you want to duke it out and take and give, lower the settings..some prefer to play that way. Others load the hard mods and play for real, it's just a matter of what you enjoy. When I played stock I ran around sinking the entire jap fleet, now using hardest settings many patrols end with just a few ships sunk.
Load TMO1.7 up....it will teach you to keep a good distance from armed merchants. Like most real skippers in the war, something shoots at me, I dive.
