Yes; in that respect "Jutland" by SES is much better - when I play that sim, even the best ships have a low hit rate. Also, "Jutland" is much better than the "Silent Hunter" series when it comes to logical surface ship behavior. In Silent Hunter the AI warships charge in & fight to the death regardless of how outnumbered they are. In "Jutland", lone destroyers or light cruisers will size up your fleet strength wisely. If you sortie with a battleship fleet, AI DD's and cruisers on patrol will retreat to just outside of gun range and shadow you, radioing for the Grand Fleet battleships. Or if they attack, they will use heavy fog as cover.
If and when work-in-progress sims like Wolfpack & Crush Depth mature, hopefully they fix some of these long-standing issues.
