I think the big difference is that submarines, unlike tanks and planes aren't really designed to slug it out with each other. You can see how a Tiger is clearly superior to a M4 Sherman based on the war record when they went head to head. Submarines fought the opposing sides ASW system for the most part. Obviously, the Germans had the more difficult battle over time given the massive resources the Allies poured into this field. Japan could never equal that.
