Exact , a decissive difference .
U.S boats can know the range and heading of the planes and ships,
this let the commander choose the best strategy and position for the engagament or evade a danger. and the radar situation is the best, in the top of the periscope mast.
Another difference about torpedos, 6 tubes bow and 4 in the stern, and all reloads inside of the boat. a lot of firepower for convoy and destroyers attacks. ( japanese were running out of destroyers at the end of the war)
