Anyone have any angles on this?

I'd give up a 100 feet of depth to have the extra four tubes anyday, not to mention the climate control....

No. But, the Americans had the equipment to detect and use a thermal layer to their advantage. This alone should be enough to give the boat a huge tactical advantage over a U boat.

I dont believe the Germans did that.
