DiD is the way to go
To reiterate an earlier post we all play the game and get what each of us wants out of it. It is one of real joys of sims. There truely is no righ t way or wrong way, its only reason for existance is for our enjoyment.
I have always played DiD even back in the Silent Service II days. It tool me six months in real time to get to July 1945, and on my last patrol while under TC getting to my assigne patrol area, apparently I was jumped by a hunter-killer team or a lone aircraft with BLUB, BLUB being the the result. It took me the better part of a day to sobber up after the bender, but the several days later ther I was taking a old pigboat out of Manila in Dec 1941. This time it took me 3 months, but I completed the war.
If RL has taught me one thing, it is that in combat caution pays off in the long run. There is no practical alternitive to patience, and the little things
do often count.
This is echoed in the Silent Hunter series as well as in other subsims. When I lose patience--death is often swift, fortunately I can start all over again.
Just my 2 cents.
