I I'm understanding you correctly, there is your problem in a nutshell. The stock game, while better than its stock successors, is still severely lacking. Yes, in the stock game it is possible to sink ridiculous amounts of tonnage. In the stock game you can win gun duels with escorts, which have more guns than you and real fire control. Yes, the stock game is severely unrealistic. GWX, NYGM, WAC, and LSH3 all make huge improvements to the realism of the combat, as well as the visual experience of the patrol. SH3 Commander adds to the realism of the campaign, giving you a variety of improvements as well as easy control of various in-game functions.

In short, the stock game isn't worth playing. Supermods are your friend.
