You compare too much with SH.
In ColdWaters there are no convoys. There isnt an HX225 from Halifax to Liverpool. There is an invasion force from Murmansk to Bergen. Or replenishing ships to the Greenland Sea. These will be "merchants" operated by the Russian Navy and thus professional soldiers. The Boris Chiliken is classified as a "merchant" but was always a Navy vessel. And that invasion force is out there for a few days, not a patrol that lasts weeks or months.
Its not WW2 and not Silent Hunter.
