I, for one, never understood the attraction of U-boats. Most of what you get to go against are merchant convoys...
Yes, there's some excitement if there's a capable opponent AI - which, TBH, in 43+ should mean you'd be moderately lucky to finish a patrol (May 43 a third of U-boats on the patrol failed to return, '43 almost 250 subs lost) - basically, even most capable U-boat captains were being sunk, and the quality of crews went downhill. So unless you go for happy times (late '40), you'd spend most of your time avoid being depth charged, rocketed, strafed or later hunted by smart torpedoes (again, under any sort of realistic conditions).
