I may very well get attached to her by the time 1941 comes around. Which makes me wonder: What other kinds of goodies can be installed to a Type II later? Like radar warning, sonar coat, etc.
I've also heard of people talking highly of a II-D? I think its the D, but not sure. What advantages does that one hold over the regular II?

I agree with you there! I get sunk way more often using the bigger boats in careers. I really enjoy the Black Sea campaign in GWX using the II D, the convoys tend to be quite small anyway, so it feels ok having only 5 torpedoes! Plus the short distances are a bonus.
The II D has significantly increased range (5650 miles @8kn compared to II A's 1600 miles @ 8kn), and later on a conning tower which increases the flak capacity. I think that's about it though, I'm pretty sure it can't have a radar - but it can have the radar detectors, anti-sonar coatings, decoys etc
