1. If you're not using SH3 Commander, you should. There is an option in it for realistic career length vs the unrealistic entire war career length.
2. Until 1942 or so regardless of the mod used, the game is very easy to rack up tonnage. Ahistorically easy imo, at least in terms of danger to one's sub.
While the modders did great work with what they had via game limitations, the escort AI in SH3 isn't very good. Use realistic tactics/mindset, and you're practically untouchable.
From 1942 or so, they get a little better for various reasons, but never as tough as AOD escorts if you're familiar with that game.
