Why U-boats?

For me, it is:

1- The feeling to be the Underdog against the British empire.

2- The feeling to be a Wolf (which could be greatly increased with wolfpacks).

3- U-boats got a lower profile, so it's easier to shadow convoys/ships at day and easier to perform surface attack at night.

4- While you're a predator in the early years, you struggle for survival as the war goes on.
