I've said it before, and I'm sure I'll say it again: surviving in a SH3 U-boat is far MORE difficult than it was in real life. Nothing needs to be made harder for the sub except perhaps for aircraft attacks. Certainly, depth charge attacks are MORE deadly than they were in real life, and U-boats get killed by DDs FAR more easily in this game than in real life. I've posted stats on this elsewhere on this site (I'll repost them below if I can find them). I don't know what else I can do to prove that U-boats weren't as easy to kill as some players want them to be.
Here's the post I was referring to. What I did was take real life stats and figure out what the game should give the player if it was accurate in terms of survivability.
Quote:
Basically, if you run twenty careers (with the career length limited using SH3 Commander) in order for it to be historically accurate you should get results something close to this:
15 careers completed where your commander survives the career.
3 careers where you were killed by ships.
2 careers where you were killed by aircraft.
If you're simulating the boat's history (i.e. without limiting career length) after 20 careers you should see results something like this:
4 careers where your crew survives the war.
9 careers where you were sunk by ships.
7 careers where you were sunk by aircraft.
These figures reflect historical reality. If you're getting killed more often than the above, then the game is too deadly compared to the reality.

There is no way that the game comes near these sorts of statistics. I reckon that the game is at least twice as deadly as the above stats.
