Tank like behavior in Surface engagements are a balance hangover from the SH3 engine. Try simply surfacing near 2 or 3 DD's and clicking your stopwatch in both SH3 and SH4 and you will see what I mean. The amount of abuse they take, while still maintaining a claim to be called a sub, is incredible. IRL, a hit or two and they would just be another leaky boat at best.
In SH3 I dealt with it by simply playing submerged, it remains to be seen how things shake out in SH4.
