Sorry, but it exactly means that. The fact the US subs suffered quite heavy casualties in WW2 just doesn't really translate into SH4. In about a dozen Patrols (from 1941 to 1943) on full realism (except outside view for screenshots) I have sunk more then 500,000 tons of enemy shipping, including 2 Battleships, 2 Carriers and 5 Cruisers while only suffering light damage (at worst) from air attacks. It's like shooting fish in a barrel. Fun for some time, but without some modifications to escort AI and abilities I will soon head back to the Atlantic for some challenge.
