I'm not too bothered, after all it's a game not a movie.

In general, I suspect we simulated sub captains are presented with a much more target-rich environment than ever existed in reality. There were only so many Japanese warships at the start of the war, Japan only managed to build so many replacements, and that was that. Same applies to merchant shipping.

Pickings must have got REAL slim toward the end of the war. I suspect it was a lot like cleaning up a bunch of spilled rice in your kitchen. The first 80% goes quickly, the next 10% isn't too tough, but then you spend the remaining 800% of the time finding the last 10 rice grains.

Except the rice grains are trying to avoid you, and some of them are shooting at you.
