Interesting alternative history gord, but this is reason I quit modding the game to have a Type XXI in 1939. It spoils you rotten for the regular U-Boat fleet. It's hard to go back to 20 minute torpedo reloads and crawling away underwater at 2 knots when you've had the future. It's sort of like having a P-51 Mustang in a World War One aerial battle. You rack up the points but the challenge is gone. Another thing is the career game makes no allowances for what your sleek wunderboots are doing. There is no Operation Sealion or possibility of British surrender and the Allies still come ashore in Normandy in June 1944 no matter how big a dent you've made in Allied shipping.
