Not surprising, considering that a submarine has a tube sight mounted to the gun, requiring the gunner to estimate the range, whereas a destroyer, in addition to at least three guns, also has a dedicated fire control center with a stereoscopic rangefinder. While the merchants don't have any better sights than a submarine they are a much more stable platform. And the game is unrealistic in the other direction, since one good hit on a submarine's pressure hull can render it not a submarine anymore.
TMO has it as it should be, and RFB is not far behind.
