Since this boat never saw combat, I'm not really going to care too much about the precise accuracy of its batteries, because I'll probably never use it in the game, as my game has it available only when it was historically available - i.e. from mid-March 1945.

This boat appears in the standard game in April 1944 - as such it's a fantasy. If players are willing to accept a sub that never took part in combat, I don't see why they should desperately need it to be 100% accurately modelled. If it was 100% accurate, it wouldn't be in the game. When you accept fantasy, you have to accept a certain lack of realism.

In other words, those who criticise the Type XXI model are, in effect, looking a gift horse in the mouth.

That's my view on it anyway.

I hate to admit it, but Beery is right about this one... Why do I even care about the Type XXI? The only time I'll ever use it is in a single mission.
