Additionally none of us have HOR engines...
HOR engine problems

Moreover, the dubious reliability of the H.O.R. main-propulsion engines - apparent from the beginning of the war - became even more critical in May 1943 when the twelve boats of SUBRON TWELVE arrived at Pearl Harbor, all fitted with H.O.R. diesels. In both shakedown cruises and their European service with the Atlantic Fleet, all of the SUBRON TWELVE submarines revealed engine problems. These only became worse under combat conditions in the Pacific, where virtually all the H.O.R. boats were handicapped by catastrophic breakdowns that often required curtailing war patrols and returning to base for repairs. One by one, the H.O.R. submarines were shuttled back to Mare Island for new Winton engines, but it was nearly a year until all had been returned to duty and the H.O.R. maintenance problems eliminated.

The above figures don't take into account the 12 submarines already in service in the Pacific at the outbreak of the war that had HOR engines also.
So I guess my whole point is yes the air system isn't perfect but the modders have done what they could with what they had and we have the luxury to tweak the files ourselves to produce the air system to be as realistic as we see fit.
