I can certainly recommend teaming up with a buddy online and staying on the surface to duke it out with the destroyers if you want a good laugh.
Although it points out that the destroyers need a tweek, since it is very possible to take a lot of them out, it's still a fun thing to do: I can recall a recent such MP session in SH4 - Hard settings, and we managed to take out the entire destroyer screen on a massive convoy leaving it totally defenceless, we didn't even bother attacking the freighters, as it would have seemed tame after that!
In fact, we were both laughing so much on Teamspeak, that a third buddy who came on the channel ended up ordering SH on the basis that there must be something in 'all this sub sim lark' since we were having such a good laugh (we both told him to get SH3 first by the way, think he bought SH3 and 4 at the same time in the end though).
How's that for a bizarre way of recruiting a new sub nut?
When I play subsims on my own, I usually go for total realism, but you don't have to take it seriously all the time to enjoy yourself.
