The Japanese were never as formidable as the Allies in the ASW department. Destroyers and escorts working alone accounted for 16 of the US subs lost. Those working in concert with aircraft were involved in 22 of the total 42 US subs lost to enemy forces. That's in contrast to the nearly 800 U-boats lost in the Atlantic to enemy action alone. Except for the overwhelming number of planes it throws at you the stock game is somewhat realistic in that regard.
