Well, if the abilities (== values in IRAI .cfg-files) you give the AI can be considerd cheating there is (at some point) no way of beating this AI (without cheating yourself) - simple balancing aspect But it's also true that going on patrol starting sometime in '43 meant almost certain death for U-Boat crews So my guess is that IRAI settings may be to high for '39-'42 and get more realistic after '42. Would need a lot of long term testing to get a "perfect" balance (and maybe different settings for early and late war years). But something like perfect balance doesn't exist IMHO
