In the real war, from what I can gather, most early war crews were so absurdly poor that U-boats could indeed do almost anything. The horrible preparedness of Allied DD and DE crews, combined with the lack of any reliable detection equipment was basically why that period was known as 'The Happy Times'. The movie 'The Cruel Sea' shows this very well.

U-boats should have it virtually all their own way well into 1941.

The problem with the game's DD/DE AI is that there are basically only two settings. The 0, 1 and 2 settings produce AI that is all but completely useless, while settings of 3 and 4 make for destroyers that can't be evaded. So I think that removing the 0 AI won't do much anyway.
