Vote favorite U-boat here.

Just a bordem killer post. So whats your favorite and why?

Me? Type VIIB\C! Built to strangle England. Doenitz finaly had the boat he wanted. Fast enough, cheap enough, carried a decent load and was quite manouverable both up top and below. Not to big, Not to small.....Leaves just right!

my favorite would be the VIIC...pretty fast, good loadout, good depth, and maneuverablility. Always last the longest in a VIIC...ur all around U-boat

My next favorite would be a IIA. Very good diving time, very hard to pick up on sonar and very very maneuverable, was the U-boat that made me a good shot being that u only have 5 torps and gotta make them count.

I officially after a previous career hate the IX series...the reasons why are pretty obvious LOL. Got two careers goin right now a IIA and a VIIC.

TheSamuraiJedi · 02-14-2009, 10:41 PM

Type VIIC/B for me. The Type IX's just turn into death traps and the Type II just dont do it.

Jimbuna · 02-15-2009, 08:44 AM

Any Type IX....plenty of firepower and range to explore far off places.

Type VII.
VIIB for early war, then once the viic/41 is available with the Cobalt/GWX player sub.

VIIC/41 - the ultimate convoy attack boat.

I only have any experience in a VIIB so far.

Although... I just started a new career in a IIA and decided to raid Hartpool at the outbreak of the war. Sunk 2 troop transports for +48K patrol.

Snuck out nice and quiet without so much as a single ping.

So now I'm thinking I should have a new fav...

IIA here. I get nervous when I can't see the shore.

gordonmull · 02-16-2009, 03:49 PM

XXI all the way!!!!!

goggles · 02-22-2009, 12:52 AM

type VII for a good balance of firepower/manuverability a good all around boat

type II total lack of firepower and range makes me depise this boat

type XI my favorite boat, crazy amount of torpedo reloads, excellent range, however this boat is huge and sluggish aircraft WILL kill you and harbor/shallow areas are not this boats forte, excellent for convoys though

type XXI hardly played this boat so no idea

astak9 · 02-22-2009, 09:27 PM

VII B\C

mookiemookie · 02-22-2009, 10:50 PM

I loves me some Type IX's

Oneshot/Onekill · 02-23-2009, 01:46 AM

Type XXI for me. There's nothing stealthier, and i love being able to target enemy ships without so much as a peep from the periscope!
