I am surprised nobody has mentioned the range of the Walter at slower speeds.
I just tested and got submerged range of
4500km @ 5knots!
2500km @ 8knots!!

The limiting factor becomes the CO2 build up with no snorkel.

I think the type XVIII is a fascinating prototype that never was and an important step in the development of the type XXI.
It's just preposterous to have them in the pacific in 44.
I would probably play a career if it was 45 in the north sea.
