One or two little errors in your first post:
Type XXIV: This type was not exactly similar to the XXI, but to the XVIII Walter submarine project (the hull design of which was taken to develop the XXI with its conventional powerplant). You are right about the "side" torpedo tubes firing towards the stern, the older XVIII had six bow tubes (like XXI).
The XXIs with "side" tubes (Schnee organ) are XXI B (6 side tubes) and XXI C (12 side tubes).
Type XXVI: Again a submarine with Walter turbine, but much smaller than XVIII, XXIV (or XXI), about the displacement of a VIIC. Only one shaft, 4 bow tubes (complete assembly taken from VIIC) , 6 side tubes, no reloads, no AA guns.
The first Type XXVI boats were actually under construction at the end of the war.
Dam your right, just looked at some of the schematics i've got, and on closer inspection the Type XXVI IS smaller than the Type XXI. I'll take your word about the Type XXIV, got very little information about it.

Would be nice to see the pregnant Uboat sailing across the screens, let me know if I could help!
Kurfürst
Is that a statement or a request about the technical drawings and photos Kurfürst? Tomw95 is currently interested in making the Milk Cow playable, and is making effort to do so.
