Sorry to be a stickler for historic specification, and sorry for kicking you repeatedly whilst down, but strictly speaking, this isn't true.
I was in the middle of moving house when SH5 was released & my typeVII bible (Anatomy of the Ship - The Type VII U-boat by David Westwood, taken from his Ph.D thesis on German U-boats from 1935-45) was packed away, dug it out this morning...
...it says

Type VIIa
2 BBC (Brown Boveri & Co) GG UB 720/8 electric motors totalling 750shp

Output totalled 750shp in all cases

Type VIId & f
2 AEG GU 460/8-276 electric motors totalling 750shp

Whether or not it makes a whole lot of difference I dont' know, but I am gonna mess around with this myself this weekend (no football on this weekend - english premiership)
Am also going to look at the displacements as a few of those seem to wrong. Well not wrong so to speak, they mostly seem to be dry weights, no water/fuel, unmanned and unloaded, see if those play any part.
I'll let you know of anything significant andycaccia.
