So it is, ships do sink quickly most of the time in the real world. Just because someone think it too much like an arcade doesn't make it any less real.

If you are using high realism settings (limited fuel, realistic reload, dud torpedoes) expect to gain 30 000 on an ideal patrol. Anything above is exceptional.

The main reasons that we have more tonnage than real Uboat captains is that their lives are actually on the line and less likely to take on unwarrented risks.
