Is the game ever harder than real life?

Agreed. I have been running GWX + OLC environment. Have regularly made night surface attacks on singles at about 1000 meters when it is overcast. Kept my speed down, ran decks awash. Even managed to slip into early war convoys (39 - mid 40) like this, no more than 1500 meters from nearest escort. Again, no moon, cloudy night.
