Good info.

Thanks!!

Wow.

Talk about variety...

Same number of tubes, same number of torps, same surface speeds, same surface distances...

All you can do is go down farther.

I knew I liked U-boats better.

I never realized that the S-boats were so fast submerged.

DaMaGe007 · 03-29-2007, 10:59 AM

also those are aparently real values for speed, the game may be a little different, I havent checked or updated them yet.
