There are some folks who love the Type II's, but I'm not one of them.

In real life, Type II patrols only lasted a couple of weeks at most. They didn't go farther than the coasts of England and they were used (not counting the Black Sea operations or as training boats) in early war, so you wouldn't have had the luxury of a milk cow anyways. Heck, where the milk cows were stationed, you wouldn't have even had the fuel to reach the milk cow!

I'd start with the Type VIIb if I were you. There's plenty of upgrade potential, so you don't feel like you're starting out with a super-boat. When you feel like you've got your feet under you, I'd definitely give the GWX mod a shot. You'll be absolutely amazed at it. Also, SH3 Commander. The rage of options that opens up for you is awesome, too.

Welcome aboard!
