@Cmdr:
There is an optional rule that German U-Boats convoy raid at 3 dmg. If that was made standard, it would make them much more effective AND once you clear the waters, it might be useful for you to build a bit more to cripple America with as well.
Totally agree with you on that. Actually, isn’t an OOB option rule?
Typing this question me in such manner that I go grab my rulebook

Yep it is, I knew I saw it. At page 22 of Europe Rulebook :
Optionnal Rule : Winston churchill once said : “The only thing that really frightened me during the war was the U-Boat peril”. You can represent this peril by each German submarine causing the loss of 3IPCs instead of 2.
So, we don’t need a Alpha 3 for this. That optionnal rule is there since the first day of Global '40
That being said, I don’t think USA would suffer from this, its too easy for USA to protect nearby water areas
