Let's play the What if game, but not from a historian point of view, but as strategists and tacticians, which we are.

How would early (39-42) war tactics and strategies have changed if the XXI would have been available? For example, a medium sized convoy with 4 escorts would probably have few surviving ships left if a small wolfpack (like 2-4 XXI's) hit it.

How do you think the Allies would have to react to this?

And yes, this is a thought experiment game, it's how new ideas get formed.

Edit: Removed Acoustic Torp idea, yeah thats getting ridiculous.
