Sounds good to me. I've been thinking about why it's so easy to rack up the tonnage lately and I think you nailed everything.
I can sit in traffic lanes or very near ports and pick and choose who I sink. Why can I do this and the real captains couldn't? I think it's a combination of too much traffic that stumbles into you, not enough planes near high traffic areas/ports to keep you from moving around on the surface at high speed at will, not enough escorts/patrol craft in general to keep you under or chase you away, and the traffic nor the AI adjusts to you.
The last one is what really has gotten me lately. I can patrol within 50 miles of Rabaul and within a 24 hour period send 30k to the bottom and I get no reaction. No rerouting traffic around the area, little if any reaction from planes, and zero ASW response.
When going from the Coral Sea to the Bismarck Sea, I can motor right on past Rabaul in that narrow channel on the surface with little opposition most of the time.
