Hm..well, even if Germany attempted to occupy England via the sea route , it'd be nearly suicide since they never did have air superiority , all those troop transports would be RAF fodder.

And in my opinion, sure Type XXI would have made a difference, atleast when it came to sub_losses:tonnage, but as others have pointed out, the no. of subs was more important, sometimes you can overwhelm the enemy through sheer numbers (just like the Russians or on a more colourful note, the Zerg in StarCraft).

An interesting "What If" scenario this has been, and I thank all of you for sharing your opinions. Godspeed Herr Kaleun!
