So much so that Molon Labe in Lwami 3.10 reajusted the values for something more balanced.

You have to balance realism with playability.
Those that think otherwise would be better served by enlisting in a real navy and use the professional simulators.
Thats real work.
We did move a few submarine active source levels up in 3.10, but it wasn't done for balance. It was done because I accidentally moved the low end too far down in 3.09 and acquisition ranges ended up shorter than we ever wanted them--unrealistically short, at least in my estimation.

There are a number of spots where balance is accounted for in the mod, though, so your point remains valid (as long as Batman isn't riding an elephant, anyways).
