The allies knowing your position thanks to a status report would certainly change this (I'm not sure if it is in the game?).

I believe this is modelled into the game. The book "Hunter/Killers US Escort Carriers in the Battle of the Atlantic" By William T Y'Blood. I have read quite a few of the u-boat books and I wanted to see what the Allies were up to. These guys had a lot of tools at their disposal to hunt and kill the boats. They were damn good at it. The CVE were made out of oil tanker hulls. Plenty of room for plane/ammo/fuel. In 1943, 27 boats sunk or captured. 1944, 22 boats sunk or captured. 1945 6 boats sunk or captured. Having enigma codes was also part of the arsenal. It is a good book and I recommend it highly. So in essence, if we had these bad boys after us as well, it would be quite ugly. Fortune for us GWX DD are good and hopefully overcome what is missing. I think it does it quite well.
