The II D has significantly increased range (5650 miles @8kn compared to II A's 1600 miles @ 8kn), and later on a conning tower which increases the flak capacity. I think that's about it though, I'm pretty sure it can't have a radar - but it can have the radar detectors, anti-sonar coatings, decoys etc
Try Jimbunas XXIII, it only carries two but it's a pretty interesting sub for those that like the II
