This sounds very realistic. It seems they should have spent more money on U-Boot fleet rather than on Luftwaffe. Battle of Britain would have had a very different outcome.

No, really, is GWX too forgiving regarding the AI flakgunners? I remember seeing that NYGM has some tweaks regarding these. Doesn't GWX include anything similar?

I remember downing an aircraft in a single mission in GWX with 20/2 and 37 guns and AI crew, but on my patrols I never tried anything similar. Tried my luck with a fighter manually once (as it can't do too much damage) but saw that it doesn't pay so I resumed with the crash-dive technique. I don't miss the GWX tweaks regarding this as I don't use the AI flak gunners but shooting down 10 airplanes in a whole career would seem pretty unlikely (thus, rather silly), not to mention in a single patrol.
