I think that a player can use WO assistance to plot torpedo solutions and still avoid super-huge-fake-uber tonnage hauls... if they 'choose to play realistically' otherwise.
Personally, what irritates me to no end, is people who knowingly use use game exploits/blatant cheats to gain an advantage... and post said game exploitations all over the place to spoil it for everyone.
Once you learn of a game exploitation... you cannot unlearn it.

Good points. Some of which must take a personal commitment to play as if it was real. I changed sinking neutral ships to be positive but only attack neutrals in a convoy or singles unquestionably in the war zone and heading for a Brit port. I am anal about making sure on this so sink few neutrals.
As for knowing how to cheat we try and avoid them but when the tin cans start falling our instinct will make us do what it takes so making it impossible to cheat is the only way and agree one can not unlearn.
True, sinking escorts was not the objective however, Kretchner was admired for bagging three destroyers equal to 3 battleships by fellow submariners. I only attack escorts if detected trying to get in and they force me to waste fish to protect myself. Once in I fire at merchants in the convoy I dive away. Later in the war I do not even do that as there are simply too many and sinking any changes nothing so if detected too early I dive then which translates in both cases to history.
If possible I will edit to force realism on myself.
There is no right way or level to play any game except the one you enjoy the most for you. I appreciate those that share their experience and methods for consideration but the do it like me or your a loser approach ain't so cool.
