Yep, a type XXIII, but not player playable in GWX3.0

I played XXIII and fired only two torpedoes and even sunk something in 17th Flotilla !:up:

In GWX3.0 http://img98.imageshack.us/img98/181...kbigsw1yo4.gif

Keep in mind to the war powers had SO MUCH scrap that they didnt know what to do with it all. Literally 1000's of tanks just rotted away in Germany (both allied and German) because there were so many of them.

They could have a place as storage or graveyard for all U-boats, but why scuttled them at sea? Some or many were too deep to salvage rather than scuttle them at harbor like Scapa Flow after WW1. Why didn't U-boats dock at docks and have someone to scuttle or deal with them instead of their crew? Most of them today are probably too rusty to pull out. If we had meth heads back then, most or all of them probably would be salvaged already. Meth heads would do anything for a metal into cash nowadays.

What's a 'meth head'.....pray tell :hmmm:

Meth is short for methamphetamine, its a very addictive drug, and growing problems in United States. More info about it here; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methamphetamine Meth heads tend to collect or steal metals & coppers from anything they can get their hands on and sell them at scrap metal yards for cash to feed their habits.

A huge amount of subs were scuttled by crews in German ports BEFORE the war officially ended
The operation deadlight subs are mostly sunk off Ireland and were either used as target practice for the Squid or other WIP Br weapons or blown up with explosives

Round these parts it's Gypsies that rip off anything metal.
My Great Aunt was Leading Wren on HMS Fowey Castle (Castle Class Corvette) based out of Faslane and escorted HMS Northumberland during Operation Deadlight. She also acted as interpreter during the interrogation of U-Boat crews after surrender.
