I move on to the Type VII and IX pretty quickly - but I'll always have a warm place in my heart for the Type II as a harbour raider. It felt like there was nowhere that little boat couldn't slink into, sink some ships, and slip out of.

I've raided Scapa in all three typesm but the Type II it was actually somewhat simple. Granted, it was December of '39, but still. It just puttered in, put down a light cruiser, and puttered out. The Royal Navy spinning about trying without any luck to find it.

Plus, though I haven't gotten that far with it in the war, I imagine that aircraft have a harder time hitting a smaller target.
