Or am I wrong and is the game much to easy in favor of a D2 compared to a us SUB?

The game is easier in that you find too many targets

But considering the japanese ASW, I don't think that any of the advantages of the Type IX/D2 versus fleet subs would have been that important. (Except the better torpedo pistols in 1942-43, of course). And on the other side, it carries less torpedoes and has not a good radar to hunt in fog or low visibility weather.
On a side note, I was re-reading yesterday "Clear the Bridge" by O'Kane and was amazed again at the fabulous episode when they engage a small convoy of four ships with twelve (12!!!!) escorts penetrating the screen on surface by night with the huge Balao. That was a performance not shy of Kretschmer's best ones
