I use map updates, but keep the map pretty far zoomed out. I also use a mod that makes the tales disappear.

To me, this gives the illusions of other uboats out there looking for targets.

The only thing I have found that really gives you realistic tonnage is to no overuse/abuse the hydrophones. Doing this, I find on 33% of my patrols I will find no targets, and this really makes it realistic for me.
