Have the IRAI mod installed so don't really know why they did nothing..

Well maybe the Royal Navy thaught: "Aaaaah dont mind he sank the USS Hood instead of the HMS Hood"

Another part of the problem is that in real life you don't dodge around sub nets. They stretch clear across the harbor and have a 'door' which is pulled aside by a tug when ships need to get in or out. One way to do it in the game would have been to have the nets set deep enough that a surface ship could pass over them and a sub would have to do it on the surface.

Whatever the problems with making it work, raiding a merchant port should be difficult and dangerous. Raiding a naval base should be next to impossible.

I gotta agree, once you get it out of your system a couple o times such a 'duckshoot' just ain't that much fun.

These people that say its too easy . Are you playing with 100% realism , Real navigation mod , OH2 campaign , and sobers realistic underwater FX2 SH5 mod ?

Nah, trying to complete a stock career first, it's a bit tedious but I'm getting there.

Even with the stock campaign, load up that IRAI and it will get real interesting real fast. Hope that you aren't used to those aircraft just passing by...

Yeah, I gotta admit, I'm certainly getting a bit complacent.

Thanks TDW, that makes sense.

The IRAI mod makes the game much more challenging, thanks for all the effort you put into this!
