We know you're not lying. "Ridiculously high" is compared to realistic totals for that era. Look at the other names on the total tonnage list; those are the stars of the US Navy Submarine force, and you're blowing them away.

As you make the game harder, the tonnage you'll sink goes down. Playing Trigger Maru Overhauled, Run Silent Run Deep, at 100% realism, I'm ecstatic if I sink 20k tons in a single patrol. Even this is far higher than real WWII patrols got. However, what RR is saying is not to jump right in to the max difficulty, because it will probably be extremely frustrating if you do. You'll learn how to approach and attack the enemy this way, then you can apply those skills when you crank the difficulty up. Once you're satisfied you can handle this, give manual targeting a try. Once you've learned that, pick up RSRD. Then when you've got a feeling for how that changes the campaign, give TMO or RFB a try. It'll be a vast difference.
