Well all above can be true, but I for example am cautious, because I want to live thru the war to see the anticlimax end.
I sink about 2-4 ships per patrol, sometimes none. Maybe my realism.. altough on 50%.
I almost do the entire patrol from the bridge surfaced, and barely go down every hour to listen. Only do that when I suspect bait.. on a choke point for example.
Creeping in to about 4 miles, and when there are too much destroyers, or the prey is going to fast, I stop and evade. Do not wanna risk my life and that of the crew.
Just pretend you do NOT wanna die, and life thru the war, then the whole sim becomes that way, as described.
Maybe just my way of doing things, but often I go flank surfaced to the target, lauch torpedoes, dive to keep undetected, watch for hit, surface or shoot another one if missed, and away we go. Destroyers around, then slow and deep, otherwise, clearing datum asap.
Anyhow, you could easily make it as you describe herr Von Hesse, just lower the max battery speed, then you MUST do as advertised.
have fun!
