Don’t ask me how many patrols or tonnage you need, because i don’t know 
In real life, kaleuns often sailed the same baby from start to end, and very few of them changed types...except the best leaders sometimes.
What you can do is to start more than one career to test different U-Boat types, and see how long you can make on each type 
Make sure to type the saves names very different though...
Hope that helps  |
Ah man. I must say thats rather dissapointing. I love to use a Type2 early war to pester those brits near their coasts, then move on to a T7 to bugger them on the western approaches, and sometimes switch to a T9 to plague the Americans
Oh well, i guess ill stick with a Type 7. I assume i do get an option to upgrade the specific class when they become available. Right? like from a 7b to a 7c, later to a XX!, etc.
Thanks for the information Fifi!
