What a beast!
It looks like the bastard spawn of a type VIIF and a u-flak
Substitute 3 twin 3.7 cm heavy flak guns for what's on there now, and God help the R.A.F pilot who comes within range!
Between the deck gun and all those extra flak guns adding to the drag coefficient, plus the added weight of those extra eels and the ammo for the flak guns, that boat will be doing good to make 2 knots underwater at flank speed, and even then the hydroplanes might not be able to keep it from sinking to the bottom.
With Realistic Reloads turned off, that thing could decimate a convoy and its escorts. All it is lacking is the 2nd stern tube.........or use a modified US Gato class fleet boat with 6 tubes forward and 4 aft. THAT would be a real convoy killer.
Not very historical, or even realistic, but it sure should keep a kid glued to the computer.
