The viib in sh-5 looks identical to the one in das boot which basicly was a VIIC with a wire cutter. Kind of a hybrid of the 2 types.

Early Type VIIC had net cutters IIRC. The DAS BOOT was a proper type VIIC, with net cutters and wave breakers around the deck gun railing. You can see the clear difference between Type VIIB and Type VIIC in the bow section as well - the VIIC is wider.
The SH5 in-game is the later war model, with the same inherent bridge deck error as in SH3. The Type VIIC in SH3 used the same hull for VIIC and VIIC/41 and VIIC/42. In addition, the deck railing was a part of the hull, instead of the conning tower, so the early war Type VIIC looked - horrid...
At least we have a proper deck railing this time. I don't mind the ommited net cutters or the deck gun wave brakers as on VIIB as long as the model is correct, which, again it isn't.
