From a "book" perspective, and modified by crew experience factors (I assume) are modeled in the game, I think they're about right.

What may be missing here are some of the "beyond the book" operational procedures used by many sub skippers and written about only after the war... the foremost being the practice of traveling on the surface with the negative buoyancy tanks flooded. Definitely not something they'd be doing during trials, in peace-time, or outside of a war zone.
