Also, the Japanese regularly patrolled certain corridors that were known sub passages. I haven't seen that in SH4 but it would add to the difficultly of even reaching your patrol objective.
There are various ways of making SH4 harder but I don't think making the escorts uber effective is the way to do it. Sure there may need to be some tweaking, but nothing too extreme.

Excellent points. I didn't copy your other suggestions; I just wanted to say that in SH3 I usually try to play like it's real: no harbor raids, don't play chicken with destroyers, crash dive as soon as a plane is spotted and don't try to fight them, don't use guns or even torpedoes when the weather is so bad they obviously couldn't in real life, and like that.
