I was using it as an example, I was mearly trying to remind people that every SH3/4/5 patrol we undertake is pure fantasy anyway.
It never happened. the best the sim can do is convey a sense of what it was like.

And so what if they do think that? Silent Hunter is a game, not an interactive history lesson for retards.
Anyway you could do the same Turkey shoot in the last two SH games on a low realism.
Theoretically it should be harder in SH5 because the game is allegedly able to respond to your actions (e.g by sending a bunch of escorts/planes to punish you for such reckless behavior.)

Sure I agree, by 1943, no matter what the player has done, the game should be giving off a STRONG Impression that its the begining of the end for the Uboats..
How do we know that this is not the case? I have not seen anything in that PDF that states
"the player is able to secure an Axis victory and you vill be king of ze vorld!!'
Rather it says
"will dictate the out come of the war on sea and land too" which is exactly what the U-boats did to some degree!
It doesn't say to what degree, its abit vague and open to interpretation
But of course people will jump to the worst possible conclusion... (again)
