And the game is unrealistic in the other direction, since one good hit on a submarine's pressure hull can render it not a submarine anymore.

TMO has it as it should be, and RFB is not far behind.
Still a lil unrealistic, as stated one shell from a 5inch gun would usually do a sub in or it's back to base, even with TMO you can take several hits and stay on patrol.

I played last night, been awhile..Had no radar early war and flanking a convoy about 9000 yards in lite fog and a escort blasted me, probably scored several hits before I got under, some flooding, 4 others joined in and finished me off......seems i lost some skills not playing.
