Percentage of ships sunk on WWII?

Hi all,

I was wondering, do anyone knows the number of ships sunk vs ships that "escaped" to be attacked by u-boats, in the real life?

I came to this question because once I reach a convoy in SH3, most of the time I can only manage to sink 2, 3 or at the most 4 ships, in an convoy of, say, 20 ships.

How the germans expected to build an "blockade" to "kill" the supplies to England, when so much ships still could complete the trip with no problems? (I'm talking about my experience in SH3)

It seems to me like this "blockade" tactics really never had any possibility of success.

Please correct me if I'm wrong. This is a conclusion I came while playing SH3, I don't know about the real life.

Thanks!
