They inject a certain amount of inaccuracy in the watch officer's reports and this is reflected in the plot. But the plots are still too fast and too reliable.

It's like the fatigue problem. Tucking the crew into their bunks when they got tired was not the kaleun's job. It's historically wrong. The only way to fix this is to turn fatigue off entirely, which is also completely unrealistic. You have to pick which historical inaccuracy you want to play with.
