It might for one year.
Here's why.
1. One of the things about the Battle of the Atlantic that is misunderstood is that the weapon launch platforms, the weapons used, and the target sets are geared fundamentally to several factors.
a. Signal detection threshold (misinterpreted as range in popular literature.)
b. Time to target run times or sink-rates with the various weapons the platforms launch platforms employ.
c. Velocity aggregates (Time over distance) otherwise known as tactical speed of all the objects employed in the three body problem of launch platform, weapon and target.
d. Angle solution deltas (again time over distance) popularly known either as no-escape zones or probability to hit or probability to kill in popular descriptions. While this involves an aspect function between launch platform and target and also depends on a weapon characteristic, a bomb dropping on a diving submarine versus a torpedo running to a target freighter, the point is that every weapon has a set of parameters where it will meet the target and a set where it will miss.
2. There is something called tactical speed. Targets, launch platforms and weapon systems have various tactical speeds, but when the aggregate system of systems is tallied up, the sensors employed, the various weapon classes used against freighters and submarines compared, one solves out a unique velocity aggregate mean. It is about 10-12 knots. Outer boundary escape where the tactical speeds exceed the existing launch platforms' ability to track is about 25 + knots. The weapon miss in most cases (freighter) is about 28 knots.
Hence the allied solution to the type 21 U-boat is ridiculously simple. Build fast freighters. Make the Germans speed up. Not going to happen with a snort boat and not going to happen with German torpedoes. The Allies are inside the technology OODA loop. As for what else?
If the Allies want to get fancy about it and actually kill U-boats instead of outrun them, then FIDO is going to have to become a 30 knot heavyweight torpedo and their depth charges will need to become larger with about 750 lbs of Composition D with a sink rate of 100 seconds to 300 feet. Complementary to this, the hedgehog mortar will have to become more like the Russian RBU 6000 (easy to do) and ASDIC/SONAR will have to graduate to magnetorestrictive GSF type German multichannel commutator actuated signal chase type sound gear. The Type 21 may be quieter than a Type VII on the battery, but she is twice as noisy on the snort. Read DEAD MEAT. The Germans did not raft their power-train properly. What they know about propellers is... well why do you think FIDO was designed to home in on screws instead of engine noise?
Hence a year. The US and UK will tighten belts, lose a million more tonnes of shipping and the Russians will be in Berlin on schedule as in the RTL.
IOW, the Type 21 changes nothing for the Germans. It might mean Russians on the Rhine though as the Allies might have to fort up and go defense in France for a few months. Who knows? Monty might not screw up Caen or Market Garden. The Allied truck shortage might not happen. Bradley might not screw up Falaise or the Bulge and things could still happen as in the RTL.
What I want the reader to understand, is that the western allies were not stupid. They knew (^^^) about this stuff and were perfectly willing to eat "wonder weapons" for the year it would take to reach Germany, even if it meant more casualties in men and treasure. The Russians were always there as the prime engine of allied victory, so the German doom was inevitable. The real question was where the allied meeting line was going to be.
