Mission tonnage

I've been playing SH4 for about a week now, and I've read so much my head is spinning with submarine giddyness, not to mention a great admiration for anybody that does this, or has done this, in the real world.

Anyhoo, I kinda feel guilty bringing in 30-50k tonnage at the end of each patrol now. Now granted, my career has been on easy mode so far, but looking at the "aces board" after 7 missions I'm sitting at over 100k tonnage - the skipper below me has only half that.

My question is, what would be considered a "normal" amount of tonnage to sink on a patrol. If I upped my difficulty should I expect to see the same kind of numbers, or is this unrealistic?
