Depending on what year you are playing, that sounds pretty realistic. I don't get nearly enough duds.

If you think that was annoying you should go talk to some people that had to endure the Silent Service in the the first years of the war.

I think I read somewhere that one boat had a total of one good hit for 70 cumulatively fired? Now THAT is rough.

I'm just re-reading 'The Golden Horseshoe' after maybe 20 years, a great little book about Otto Kretschmer and U99. What you describe sounds spot on for early war. Must have been frustrating beyond belief. Lucky for us Brits however!
