I do too. Even with the mods I still find harbor raiding rather easy. The few patrol vessels on station are rather easy to dodge.

Another thing that always irked me is the lack of a strong reaction. When the Japanese battleship Mutsu accidently blew up at the Hashirajima anchorage near Hiroshima in 1943, the Japanese assumed it was a submarine and put strong air and sea patrols at all the entrances to the Inland Sea and put the fleet on alert.
In the game, I've noticed that a few subchasers may come over and sniff about at the site of the vessel you sank, but by then I'm long gone. There is no real effort to cut you off from escaping. Not to mention that other anchored warships that are also potential sitting ducks don't even stir.
