You think wrong. When they were ordered to stay up and shoot rather than dive, they died like flies.

In real life, staying up and shooting was a very bad idea. Even if you won, 20mm holes in the hull could not be properly repaired and would render your boat a very ineffective surface raider. It sounds to me like you just want to play your way, which is fine, but you want to justify it as realistic, which it isn't.
