After 1943, sinking merchants actually feels like more of an accomplishment. The challenge allows you to be a lot more careful- there will be contacts that look like a sure thing, but using experience you'll know it may not be worth the risk to your boat. Often in many patrols I have to turn back after sinking only a few ships to ensure I make it back alive, since enemy surface/air presence gets larger and with radar and ASDIC there are very, very few places to hide.
