What makes the game great is your ability to play it the way you want. If I load up my slightly subnuclear Mark 14s and Cuties, plus my slightly subnuclear deck gun I can sink 100,000 tons in ten minutes. You should try it some time. It's a blast!
On the other hand, I can load up TMO, restrict myself to no reloads on a cruise, load up RSRD and consider myself to have a banner cruise if I can down 30,000 tons.
But it would be foolish to compare the two numbers. It would be equally foolish for the 30,000 ton guy to disparage the 100,000 ton in 10 minutes guy or the other way around either. Both achievements are notable. Both were fun. What's not to like?
Each of us plays the game to our own taste. Although we are free to describe the way we play in an enticing way so as to induce others to do it our way, requiring them to play our way just doesn't make sense. When you take the right to someone else's freedom, you give consent for your own to be taken.
