"Its just as well the war ended when it did, as German U Boat development had the giant electric subs on the way.
It could have given them the upper hand again as in 40 - 42."


even with the type 21 operational, they still had no chance to win, ww2 was just not limited to sea battles, the british, russian and american armies were all over europe,
roaming where ever they pleased, attacking, 360,000 germans surrendered in the ruhr encirclement, no chance after that.

they had thier tigers, panthers, and king tigers, against the junk shermans, still they had no chance.

and as far as the type two one, the american navy by the end of the war was not dependent on depth charges.

the type 21 would have been blown out of the water, by homing torpedoes, and sonobuey triangulation, and i doubt allied technology would have frozen from fear of the 21.


now japan would have been a different matter, japanese didnt surrender like the germans did. the allied armies would have been victorious, but devastated by an invasion of japan,
you have to read the accounts of iwo jima, Peleliu, when the japanese changed thier war tactics, tarawa, these small little islands, little specs on the ocean, my high school was almost as large as tarawa,
but the intensity of these fights was incredible, and the casualties enormous, thier may not have been an allied troop left to declare victory in japan.

japan by far was the tougher enemy, therefore i respect them more, germany didnt need to get nuked to end the war there, japan did.

and to be honest, if i had to fight in a war today, i would rather share a foxhole with a japanese soldier or marine, than a german.

aside from that, i enjoyed both sh3 and sh4.
