More challenging?

I have just completed my 6th patrol in my first career and yet again I have over 60000 tons sunk and yet again I was only detected a handful of times, only attacked by airplanes twice and never (!) depth charged. This time I even sailed into Scapa Flow and sunk a moored cruiser and 4 other warships in the bay and escaped undetected and unharmed. I don't want to sound like I'm complaining, but this seems a tad bit unrealistic.

It's summer of '41 and I'm still finding tons of unprotected cargo ships and tankers and in the rare event of finding a convoy, they're usually only escorted by 0-2 destroyers. While I am not playing on full realism (I'm not relly good enough for manual targeting yet) I would like the patrols to be a bit more challenging in the way of encountering more competent warship captains and convoys that are actually a challenge to attack. ( maybe this will start to happen more as '41 draws to a close ??? )

I am currently playing the stock version of the game so I was wondering which mods would be good to go with if I want to spice things up a bit. Any suggestions will be appreciated!
