Yeah, the problem with the Black Sea campaign is that the sea is often dead calm, there's mainly relatively heavily guarded small convoys( Not many lone merchants), Russians seem also to have an endless amount of war ships and they are pretty aggressive, skilled and unrealistically well equipped. For example the small Uragan type gunship has active sonar (and hydrophone?), though in in real life its only ASW equipment was depth charges meant to drop on the basis of visual sight.
I was once killed by one of those. After it expended all its depth charges, that SoB just kept pinging and following me, and eventually when I was forced to surface it of course easily outgunned and outmanouvered me.
Had it not had sonar and hydrophone I would have escaped.
Good thing is that there's plenty of Luftwaffe and Romanian air force present offering help in tricky situations.
