The chances of getting killed are excellent. But, if you develop a strong crew, plan your attacks and evasions well, by the time things start getting really tough, you have a fighting chance.

Experience and good judgement pay off in GWX. I suggest starting your career in 39. By the time things get nasty you will have the needed experience.
I agree with Brag. Like the manual says, impatience will get you killed! When my careers end violently, it is always because I broke the rules that had made the boat successful - like real life.
Reading a book on the March '43 Convoy battles. The author (Middleton?) noted that in the lead up, the main casualties among uboats were the ones on first patrol, and also the agressive types - excellent patrols - then

CaptainNemo12 - Good luck on GWX, you won't look back!
