Very interesting thread
I found that the main difference between American and german/Japanese were the ASW technology and Radar detection. and it was finally decisive.
A gato in the atlantic could perform like a IX-B boat but with the radar it could dive before the planes arrive.
I think in a good experiment in the future... use american boats as germans in the atlantic and see how it performs in the convoy battles with allied ASW .:hmm:
