I have come to the conclusion that the IJN were not that bad in ASW as some might say. The American submarine captains were that good that they made them look bad. As the war progress like tator mentioned, the japanese improved and started making kills 1943 onward. To little to late though. So TM though not intended to be is closer to reality. You have to use good evasion skills to survive. American submarine captains that engaged escorted convoys were attacked sometimes for hours, with in some cases the help of air units.
