Great! You are experiencing the kind of frustration that real U-boat commanders had. Why would you want to lose that sense of realism? Check these out:

Vogel in U-588 hit a 4,800 ton tanker with 2 torps and then spent 4 hours firing 200 rounds into it before claiming it sinking in flames - this ship made it back to port with minimal damage.

Schacht in U-507 tried to sink a 6,800ton ship by gunfire after the crew had abandoned it but finally gave up and had to use a torpedo.
