What Sub Is The Best????
 

:ahoy: Hello everyone!
:p I've had 2 lucky patrols tonight and yesterday.
:cool: Let's take yesterday first.I was on the way to grid BF41 and did my duty patrolling the grid BF41 for 24 hours, and nothing to see.And then,some of you had mention that in the area BE it can be a lot of big ships,so I remembered that, and took a trip into that area. I bagged 13 ships for 51171 ton:lol: ,and when I came in to port everyone bying me drinks:smug: And tonight I sailed out of Wilhelmshaven in my sub IXB, yesterday too ( I love those subs they carry a lot of torps, 22 to be exactly ) and hurry to my patrol grid DH99:dead: looooong trip, and bagged a small merchant . And when I' finished my 24 hrs , I gave orders to get to grid CG95 and layed under surface perfectly still and bagged six ships for 27000 ton. Not bad for 2 patrols???:D
What subs do you all like:lol: ???

GOOD HUNTING EVERYONE:gulp:

Overall it would be the XXI.

But as for the conventional subs in the game, I prefer the VII-C. It's more maneuverable than IX classes, and dives faster. The trade off is less torpedos, and less range (which in the later years is probably better as longer voyages prove to be more dangerous).

It really depends on your play style. If you want maximum destruction for value than the IX is your choice. If you prefer to trade in the aforementioned bonuses of fuel and additional eels for a faster dive time and better submerged speeds than the VII's will serve you well.

a type II/D for me. with the 6th eel loaded in of course. small, agile and hard to find. can hunt in waters that type VII and type IX would never dare to go. and much shorter patrols!:up:

Would you mind answering this question I have? Or anyone else who would have this knowledge.


I have seen around here the discussion of a 6th Eel in the Type II's as a historical point - some did take a sixth, but at the expense of space and speed, yet I only get 5. Now I checked the manual and it says the II-A had 3 Torps and 3 reloads, and the II-D had only 2 reloads; yet I have a II-A and I only have two reloads, now why is this? Is this a discrepancy with the SHIII manual, or just a typo as the II-D actually receives 3 torps?

stock game and older GWX versions had 6 eels. after GWX 2.0 they took out the 6th eel. I use GWX 2.1 so I just added the 6th eel back. Its very easy. Mikhayl explained it on an earlier type II thread.

VIIC/42 is the best for me, not too big not too small. I've converted her to U-Flak already (2 quad 20 mm. and 1 twin 37 mm.)

xxiii in NYGM !!!!! with this submarine you can everything!!!:up:

The Type IX boats.

Longer range = visit far off places and carry more ordnance to rack up tonnage http://img522.imageshack.us/img522/9708/piratebf4.gif

Welcome aboard, Pattadon. Sawadi kap!

I trust my life...U-Boat type: VII B or C! :arrgh!:

What sub is the best?

The one that brings you home.

Stock game had five. Only the GW series ever had six. But you're right; it's easy enough to change either way.

The XXI is the best historically and in game.

I find the IX to be a death trap. I done three patrols with it and the lack of manuverbility is very significant when dealing with DD.

Never try the IID, maybe I should.

Overall, I like VIIB for agility.

The Type XXI only ever made two patrols and never sunk anything IIRC :hmm:

Your right but thats a boat u can call "the summary of German U-Boat experience in WWII" all the later Boats (after the war) where based on this Boat.
Yes it is the best Boat in Game and it was the Boat with the greatest potential in WWII. I think that is a big "what if" question if the XXI where able to proof himself if there where more out on war patrols.
