Yeah, but that's the only upsides of the US subs compared to uboats. Torpedoes had problems for both sides early in the war, but the ones in SH4 seem worse and you don't have much to look forward to when it comes to more advanced torpedoes. Everything else is worse in the subs. Diving to 120 meters will get you killed sooner or later, and crash diving takes forever. The position keeper sucks in it's current state, and I would prefer the TDC of SH3 even if it's fixed. It just sucks to have to repeat every step of the targeting procedure for every ship in a convoy, it takes forever. Changing target for the PK always messes up the AOB even if all targets have the same course. Btw, is the submerged range supposed to be this low in SH4? A Gato can get about 1/4-1/6 of the range you had in the early uboats. Even with 3-4 knots and ahead 1/3 the batteries are empty in less than 10 hours.
