If you get into later war, you will be forced to operate in shallows if want to sink anything. Late 1944 traffic shifts to coastal waters as it really did. Provides excellent opportunities for night surface attacks though. Sometimes have to just submerge as well . Decoys are available then and are helpful.

Yeah, which is why I'm... trying... to overcome those... habits of skippering that I garnered with skippering U-boats. Same situation in operating a sub, but... radically different tactics used in commanding them. Even though, the U.S. arm, basically followed what the Kaleuns were doing with unrestricted sub warfare.... but, did a vastly better job at it.

Of course, with the way the IJN responded by not forming up convoys until well after the skippers had definitively put the merchie fleet, in the hurt locker... even after having the snafu of duds & premature dets from torps... all because the Bureau of Ordnance, couldn't get their heads outta their aft quarters, & listen to the skippers screams of frustration... instead, blaming them for their woes with torps. The vast difference between the whole issue with torps was... the Higher ups on the German side, did listen to their skippers & did manage to work out most of the kinks on their torps... of course, they still had issues but those were likely due to sabotage with their work force, rather than defects in the workings & plans for them.

Any who... may see of setting up a later on career so as to be able to test bed the 95's... Got plenty of room to maneuver, as it were. space wise.
