If you compared the advancements versus shortcomings, the Germans pretty much started the war about a decade too early. Likewise, failure to accept feedback from the front lines and a clear underestimation in the Allied response really hamstrung the effort. As bad as the radar sets were, it was cracking the Enigma that really beat down the Kriegsmarine. It doesn't matter how spiffy a U-boat is if the targets are anywhere except where you are.
