I wouldn't be too sure about that. Overall hit rate for all navies in World War Two was only about 7%, and up close and personal was still less than 20%. In his book Guns At Sea Peter Padfield compared it to sitting in a rocking chair shooting at a ping-pong ball rolling across a mantle with a pistol while being rocked randomly by someone else.

Naval gunnery has never been a precise science and, even with the latest radar fire control, still isn't, and u-boats were an unstable platform shooting an unstabilized gun with iron sights. I think Ubi's effort in this department is just fine; perhaps a little too easy.
