Default American subs <> U-boats

Submarines are not like automobiles. They don't have standard controls. You can expect the American submarine to work quite differently from the German "equivalent." You can expect the Pacific ocean to be very different from the German "equivalent."

One historical fact you can count on: the German U-Boat was poorly designed and tactics improperly drawn, leaving Germany unable to achieve victory (in fact U-Boats ensured Germany's defeat) in its theater.

The American submarine was well-suited for its task and stategy adequate for victory in the Pacific.

The first time you encounter a convoy with 24 immediately useable torpedoes you'll understand.

What's the point of risking your life to urinate on a forest fire?:rotfl:If you can't carry enough water to put it out you're better off staying home.
