I know on a type VIIb it's between 7 and 9 knots, so on a Type II, try 7.
Seems to be 6 for the IIA. Thanks for this advice, really saved my bacon during patrol 3 as I misread my orders and ran from Wilhelmshaven to AN29 off Bergen instead of AN26 NE of Skapa. Was able to cover the increased distance and back with plenty of diesel to spare.
