funny thing is - some people complain about the exact opposite - that destroyers can be nearly ignored.
I'm on my 6th patrol now and raked some 150k tons (over the entire career) so far which I feel is nearly realistic. Had a few skirmishes with destroyers here and there, usually I can avoid being sunk but they give me some chase. To me, the AI is balanced.
my 5 cents
