Good post, Beery made. Oleg Maddox reference lol.

I've been torn between acquiring the VIIC/42 or the XXI, simply because both subs are released at around the same time, unless some lucky fool has 30,000 renown for the XXI and 3000+ renown for the VIIC/42, plus upgrades, in which case he can simply captain both before the end of the war. I've got GW 1.1 as well as Unified Campaign, but I can't see any good argument to settle for the VIIC/42, over the XXI. I don't believe the VIIC/42 can dive to 350m and survive, contrary to what the manual says, although I haven't tried out the VICC/42 with GW's yet so I can't be sure what changes have been made. I think passive acoustic equipment on board allied ships had a limit of 300m in which case, the VIIC/42 would be beneficial.

Has anyone used a VICC/42 with great success? Love to hear how.
