More type II/D love!
 

Man what a great little boat. I always have a type II/D career on the go. All I do with this boat is patrol the shallow waters of the channel, the irish sea and various other ports and coastlines around Britain. To enjoy this type of career you need to forget about tonnage and just focus on bagging some ships thinking they are safe so close to home and then half the fun is getting away before the DD's arrive.

Last night i was depth charged in 60m of water just of the east coast of Britain for 2 hours. Amazing how much trouble DD's have finding this little boat. Returned home without a scratch and with 15000 tonnes :up:

Nice to some aggressive action with the Type II/D. Might start using the Type II's more often:hmm:

GWX Black Sea careers are great :up:

i might get uboat missions (for sh4) and i will use it in that.

They're the best in the whole game IMHO. I've just started a fresh Black Sea career and I'm TOTALLY, TOTALLY hooked :arrgh!:

I use the IID almost exclusively... People don't realize you can easily got to Africa and back at 1/3 ahead 6 kts...

The thing has fantastic escapability.

Yah, that wee shorty rawks!!!

I used to putter around in an Atlantic warhorse for a while, but do actually find this petite beauty much more to my tastes now that I'm (hopefully) past the total clueless n00b stage... and what's more, there're less Bernards to worry about there too :lol:

Yah, gotta love the IID! What a little honey of a U-boat she is indeed :up:

Yeah!

I just wish we had a way of cross-breeding IL-2 and SH3, because then I'd have to watch out for my ex-squadmates and renowned Pe-2 pilots Sergei and RBD_Pavel doing their damnedest in bombing me to smithereens :lol:

The IIA will forever remain near and dear to my heart because it is the boat I always begin my careers with in 1939.

I just love the Type II boat's stealthiness and its shallower draft allows it to go places other, larger u-boats fear to tread.

I think my next career will be in a IID and then move to a XXIII near the war's end.

After that, I just got to try the big boys and see what it's like to cruise halfway around the world in a type IX boat.

Still, I have to admit the VIIB is my soul-mate. I've gone harbor raiding in Scapa Flow, following Gunther Prien's historical route, and been through hell and back with my baby. She always brings me and my men home safe. :D

Type II is definitely the best choice for harbor raids and tight places. It's the Volkswagen of U-boats! :up:

I haven't tryed this boat yet,how many torpedoes does it hold??

Just five, and that's with the spares included!

Aim carefully! ;)

There was a guy here a few years back that was going to play the whole campaign in a IID. I wonder if the made it?
