American submarines had a advantage ... 20 or more torpedos with 6 forward tubes and 4 in stern.

The size is very similar to the IX series,and the same for the diving times, in this case they use more the radar systems for locate the japanese ships.

The main difference between the two wars and the victory or defeat ??

perhaps japanese scorts and aircrafts don´t had a good sensors and radar detectors,
the pacific ocean is very wide and they don´t had a lot of planes looking for submarines like in the atlantic.

The convoys systems are very different, smaller than allied and they lost more ships than they could replace.
