I don't have the luxury of a damage gauge (full realism settings) nor do I really read the patrol reports but I have had engaged an entire PT boat squadron on the surface (includes one with a 57mm? cannon) and lived to tell the tale in a IXC.
In a more submarine situation, I was traversing the northern approaches in heavy seas and driving storms submerged and doing an acoustic intercept of a merchant ship. I knew we were both headed towards each other but when I raised the scope I saw this gigantic bow towering over me (and I was told the contact was merely CLOSING! grr)
Something clanged loud against the hull as I went ahead flank and emergency rudder but miraculously, no damage. (see I did learn from the Titanic)
