To add to what Frau Kaleun said, I've read that in real life U-boat skippers had difficulty just finding the enemy. In the early war, when there were too few U-boats at sea to cover the North Atlantic, good intel, the sort you could act upon, was less frequent than in SH3/GWX. Some of us compensate by ignoring some contact reports; imagine the effect if you had to find ships & convoys with no help, or only half as much as you're now given.

Also, another way to make one's score more realistic is to use manual targeting, at least for submerged attacks. For sure it makes the hits feel like real accomplishments.

Gute Jagd,
