The fact is, real U-boat commanders took their boat in for repairs if they got any sort of significant damage. You can't fight effectively with damaged equipment. Any newbie can tell a heavy attack from a light one, so if you're on the receiving end of a heavy depth charge attack, it's time to call the patrol off.
