Don't foget the VIIF s

These boats, designed in 1941, were primarily built as torpedo transports and were never fitted with the typical 88mm deck guns found on other VII type boats. They had 5 torpedo tubes (4 at the bow and 1 at the stern) and as attack boats they would carry 14 torpedoes but in their transport role they would have up to 39 torpedoes onboard.

Two of them, U-1062 and U-1059, were sent to support the Monsun boats in the far East waters. They were the largest and heaviest type VII boats built.


Also in numerous occasions u-boats were being refueled by both ships in neutral ports and other u-boats (mainly IX series).

Rubini has captured all refuelling action (except refuelling by non milch cow uboats in Harbour Traffic Mod (original milch cow mod by Sansal).
