What didn't you like about the XXI? It's the only ship I haven't driven yet. |
I am not fond of XXI either except for its speed underwater and stronger hull able to go deeper than other types to get away from destroyers easy. When I intercepted a convoy in XXI, I fired last torp at a tanker, the tanker stopped, all other ships moving away. Thats when I wished I had deck gun to take out that tanker. I also prefer to have rear torp bays like IIV or IX with homing/passive in case Im being chased by destroyers, XXI doesnt have rear which make it harder to keep destroyers off your back while attacking a convoy. Also XXI has problem with keeping at periscope depth even at snorkel. If XXI also has rear torp bays for taking out destroyers, and deck gun to take out remaining ships when Im out of torps, then I would play with it more. btw XXI is pretty sluggish at turning left/right.
