I haven't done a harbor raid in some time. If you understand the game mechanics, it's pretty easy to rape them every time.
The AI simply can't handle driving the defender ships near land. Very often they will go forward/reverse over and over, pummeling themselves onto the beach or into a pier until they sink themselves.
So just stay near land or an obstacle like a pier and they can't touch you.
I've even backed my sub into a slip and surfaced and pulled in external torpedoes and gotten a breath of air. The buildings along the docks will (usually) shield your low-setting submarine from all the gunfire that will head your way.
The biggest problems are submarine nets and running out of air. And escaping, if any escorts did not kill themselves on the rocks.
If you have external camera, you can "fly" underwater like a drone and discover any sub nets and/or mines in your way. If not, you can use your periscope underwater to see what is ahead of you.
