I like to do a lot of harbour raiding but unfortunately, the AI problems, lack of nets and mines and emplacements make it very easy to sneak in, sink a few ships and then get out again.
I suppose part of the fun is actually looking for ships on the high seas, in addition the lack of seas packed with boats is slightly more realistic. Having said that, the mission requirements are so unrealistic, they are laughable seeing as though most commanders were lucky to see perhaps two ships a month in RL.
I enjoy going up and down the convoy routes looking for large convoys and seeing how I do against them.
I have to say that the game would be better in the concept of submerged in the day, surfaced at night actually worked!!
One thing to consider is that what you have described is very close to what submarine warfare was actually like.......Weeks of boredom followed by minutes of intense action
