Perhaps it could have been the saviour of the Kreigsmarine and Germany. The only bad comments I have on it are that it lacks a deckgun that is used against ships and it lacks a stern torpedo tube. Lets face it, if I have a ship on my tail I expect to be able to defend myself rather than have to round about over and over while diving and surfacing trying to shake the enemy off my tail.
EDIT: Germany would have benefitted in my opinion if they had Focke Wulf fighters in 1940 and Me-323's. The Me's would land troops, tanks, and supplies in Britain's field regions and be covered by the Wulf's which had superior cannons and mg fire (6 cannons and 2 mg's). Not only that, but the Wulf's were fuel friendly meaning they could go quite a distance in bad weather and be very effective at the same time against the allies. The air battles in Russia showed its superiority. The motor of the Zero was bugged and its fuel lines were lightly armored. A single burst from a Corsair could rip the wings off a Zero in seconds and ignite a fire. The Japanese at tactics in the air sucked big time.
