What this tells me is you enjoy SH3 as a game and not a simulation and if that is how you enjoy it that is great.
However, the latest GWX2 fix on the gun makes doing this unlikely as the gun pitches and rolls so much as it really did, it is not easy to hit a cargo at 200 meters in anything but a calm sea.
What GW team continue to strive for is making this as much within the limits of SH3 a recreation of what it was like to be a Kaleun.
Your description never occurred ever in real life.
In all WWII one U-Boat score a deck gun hit on a corvette that was the sum total of ship to boat combat success.
Again, if recreating history in similar experience is not your thing then by all means have fun.
I remember the early days when taking out a corvette at 4000 meters was cool but that is so unrealistic it detracts from being a Kaleun. With GWX2 you do not stand a chance against a one gun trawler, heck you are unwise to duel a one gun merchant ship and that is reality, if that is the goal.
Not criticizing as I do believe the right way to run any game/sim is the way you enjoy it.
For me there is no end to finding recreating the difficulties U-Boatmen faced and finding a way to both succeed and survive the later being the harder the more real the sim.
