First off, Anti submarine warfare was really lacking in Japan. Training was sub par and so was doctrine. A few escort captains learned the ropes but far and wide its a different war than in the Atlantic.
Japanese lookouts especially at night were some of the best.
Early war the Escorts were a Joke and destroyers were looked at as Fleet screens and only mildly in the dishonorable role of ASW platform.
Long story short. You will devastate them as we did historically!
Try TMO mod if you want to fear for your life and have superhuman escorts and aircraft hunt you to extinction if you aren't super cautious
