Who is so stupid, as big as a destroyer to enter a boat in an enemy port?

Nobody wants to hear your crap about who is so stupid. Why dont you keep it to helping the guy with his problem. I know quite as few people that have raided more than a few harbors and besides its a game for gods sake. Just rememeber Scapa Flow dude.

Um ... I wanted no one hurt or even insulting.
The fact is though, that one must be pretty stupid to control a 2000t + submarine into a port.
And do not come to me now please Prien's U-47 (Type 7B), which had only 760 / 850t.
If you do not see the difference in detail and approach, I'm very sorry ...

I think, when you say "stupid," you must mean to say "talented," because it takes skill to work a big boat into a harbor and sink some ships. On the other hand, he's still smaller than almost all the other vessels in the harbor that he's trying to sink, and they got in there just fine....

In my view, it is actually not wise to break with such a large boat in a harbor.
No responsible CO would favor such an action ... because hanging off many lives as well as the boat.
Those who ignore this as a commander, is either stupid or extremely selfish.

Considering how open the 3D harbor models tend to be, there's not really a lot of "inside" the harbor anyhow. Protected anchorages like Tokyo and Pearl are the exceptions. IRL, breakwaters and torpedo nets made harbor attacks much more infeasible.

Incidentally, although most mods put the Penang harbor on the Malay mainland, it was located at George Town on Penang Island. Will have to make note of that

A lot of times the target is stationary but in your scope look for funnel smoke...Then look to the left in the periscope station and check for speed of target...In some harbors you will have torpedo magnets,a nice fat kiturn maru that has been put their just to make you waste torpedoes.

.The modders have a wicked sense of humor!!

Killing ships in port is what you're doing wrong if you ask me. Where is the sport in that?

None really but it is fun to evade any patrol boats and sink a vessel.
