Too much luck on vanilla?

Is it just the game or do I need to sell lotto tickets? I'm running the standard 1.4 on normal, running 45% realism (limited fuel, CO2, O2, batts; no duds, auto TDC,no event cam), I just keep coming up to some very juicy targets.

For instance, My fist patrol out I come across a convoy with three heavy cruisers at night, chasing them off the island Manila. Sank them and a few DD's, run'oft happy with my success, then stumble onto a battleship task force the NEXT MOURNING! Give chase, radio Subcompac, who then orders me to sink as many battleships as I can. Okay. Roger that

. Go back to port at Manila, refit and continue on with my mission of dropping supplies.

Next patrol on the 23, December, 1941. Encounter the same type of troop transport convoy with the three heavy cruisers, rinse, repeat, celebrate with the crew from the captain's medicine cabinet, and yet again, I run into the SAME battleship task-force. But I'm out of torps this time around, and Manila has been captured. Okay, I duck and dodge my way to Java and put to port.

Now this patrol I'm on. I sank four cargo ships on the way into the China Sea without difficulties. Cool. But just as I enter into open waters (finally) my sonar contact screams heavy warship contacts off the port bow at 2210 hrs. I trace the contacts out with spy key (F11--yeah, I know, I cheat, but working on getting my bearings while having fun at it) and holly lord it is the mother-load: Shokaku carrier, Hiryu carrier, Fuso battleship, a Ise Battleship, and the prize I envy, the Yamato as the flag ship.

My luck just can't be this good...
