What could they have done?

Just an open question for the history buffs here. What could have the Germans done different with the losing hand they had 42-43? I'm talking up to the point where they start taking HUGE monthly losses. The happy times were long since over and the convoys were starting to get really good and there were starting to be enough anti-sub ships with good crews coming online. To me I would think they should have change tactics outright instead of just trying easier picking in Brazil or India and fighting a losing battle.

Did they have a chance at all or was the fix in by 42 and it was only a matter of time for all the mistakes to catch up?
