I use 100% realism, but also play strictly by the tactical principles in the Uboat Commanders Handbook, especially regarding use of the hydrophones and torpedo allocation.
Generally, on 1 out of 3 patrols I will get no contacts, and I have to return to base due to low fuel.
I have never seen a carrier, but had a BB Taskforce pass me once, but I could not get into position for a good shot.
