At least according to a great book I have on the Type VII's called "Anatomy of the Ship, The Type VII Uboat" by David Westwood published by the Naval Institute Press.

Bow detail, note item 33 which is the jack staff.


Im going to do some more digging in this book but from what I see so far they modeled the boats in SH5 very accuately.
But as far as the towers go, it depends on what year they were built.The Type VIIC's in 1939 & 40 had essentially the same tower as the B did.
The Viic,s in 1939 & 1940 had essenially the same tower as the B model?
Epic fail! See for yourself.

VIIB



VIIC



Huge difference not?
