Liberty ships list with Americas industrial might and the invention of liberty ships gave the Americans a big problem they built that many they ran out of names for the ships but for the Germans due to heavy losses they were sending boys 17-18 year olds to die in the Atlantic.
In SH3 by late 1942 when you find a convoy attack it once and once you have fired your first four bow eels and if you can fire your stern tube/tubes then get down deep n fast then rig for silent running and slip away @ 1knt reload eels at night and dont dock at home port unless you need vital repairs that can only be done at home port traversing the bay of dismay can be a real problem from spring 1942 onwards

Yes, Doenitz sacrificing thousands of lives, sending out crews he knew had little chance and would make no difference to the war's outcome just so he could suck up to the corporal.
With the laughable excuse of "tieing up enemy resources". Even with the Allies technology, etc. he was out Admiraled the entire war.
