No idea! Info is hard to come by on many things associated with US subs. I made them at their current effiency because:

a.) As long as you had to wait for them, i thought they ought to be a significant upgrade.

b.) From previously playing SH3, i found decoys a disappointment most of the time. I decided that combined with the above mentioned point, this dissapointment was to be avoided.

and

c.) probably most importantly, The japanese were quick to claim a kill. They were umm... overconfident. So its entirely plausible, that where Submarine Bubble targets may not have fooled Allied sonar operaters as much, its entirely likely they would have fooled Japanese sonar operators by a fair amount.
