For me, I guess find it more annoying that we as virtual skippers, can wander into a major enemy naval base and pump torpedoes into a 29,000 ton moored battleship unscathed. No mines, no nets, no underwater obstructions. I realize almost everyone does it at some point in SH4 ( and in SH3) as well. That's the game the devs gave us, but it does make the sim feel less historical and more arcadey.

Yes, Prien did it at Scapa Flow, but British efforts there began late to repair peacetime neglect of the harbor's defences. The Germans never tried it again.
