I am guessing you do not play 100% and when killed you do not start over?!? :rotfl:

I have run a patrol almost every day for 8 months. Except for adding R-class BBs to my RND file for some convoys that had them early, I have seen a Nelson in Lock Ewe once and a KGV at long range once and 2 R-class in a task force, again at long range. That is it
I have seen escort carriers in that same period once in a convoy and the other I accidentaly torpedoed with a homming fish I shot at a DD and it disabled the CVE which I later sunk after the escorts left.
I am safe to say that is it out of at least 250 patrols so you are experiencing the typical and understand why I am more excited about a new cargo ship in the game than a new battleship I will never see.
Fact is most Kaleuns never saw a big prize either so this would be very typical.

D, that is more BB tonnage than was sunk by all combatants in the Atlantic theater in the whole war and no U-Boat ever sank that much tonnage on one patrol in the war either.
But, it depends on what you enjoy. For some reality is just too boring!
