I find that this is quite present in onealex. from 1943 onwards, it is no longer a walk in the park and can even be painful to play.

1943 brought aircraft radar more into play vs. ship radar. Even in 1942 commanders found surface attacks much more difficult due to ship radar. Also, though the game doesn't simulate it, escorts routinely used ship borne huff duff units to chase down sub bearings when they were around convoys radioing convoy info. to BdU/other subs well before 1943.
