Yep, had the argument many times. The point about different theaters is probably the best one. Like comparing the Type VII and Type IX, which was also just done recently. One is designed for medium-range operations, and is smaller and more maneuverable, and the other is of necessity designed for extreme long range, and so has to be bigger, which makes it less maneuverable and slower to dive. On the plus side the fleet boats had refrigerators, fresh food for the entire patrol, laundry machines, lots of fresh water, none of which makes a difference in the game, but certainly made a difference to morale after two months at sea.
