I play with everything on realistic except for torpedo firing solutions. I also leave the external camera enabled, because its fun to fly around and watch the action. I did break radio silence to report my success. Their reply: The first round is on us when you return to port. The funny thing was that the destroyers didn't even break from the convoy to search for me. Those early british escorts aren't too aggressive are they? Another nice thing: setting the depth low and using magnetic fuses allowed me to run my torpedoes right under any ships in my line of fire. So from 1940 on they quit using magnetic fuses historically? Bummer. They work well in calm seas.
You play the sim the way you get the most enjoyment...simple as
