hi,
Just started playing a IXD2 as practice for SHIV (a little premature!!) just to get a feel for large fleet boat types, as previously mentioned the Gato and Balao where even bigger. I like the ability to cross the atlantic to the US coast running at Std or Full because of the large fuel reserve which allows me to keep the crew's morale up if we don't sink anything - but it's gonna have one large ASDIC profile so that could be interesting in '43-'45 if i survive.
The dive times are incredibly slow but that has meant changing my attack tactics but i'll get used to them, at least this thing can dive to 200m+ (so i can hopefully escape depth charge attacks using depth as it handles so sluggishly) unlike US or RN fleet boats who were only rated to 100m! (although were know to dive to 150m in extreme circumstances)
