I was thinking to start a career with the IIA or IID. A small career early war.
From lets say, 1939 to mid 1940. Couple of short patrols. Yes, not having the deck gun is a bit annoying.
But when i play with the Type II, i sometimes wait for big targets.
Would be nice to sink a battleship, cruiser, or aircraft carrier, or big merchant ships with a type II.
I want to make the 5 torpedoes i have, really count.
But sometimes it takes a bit of time, to encounter big targets. I even spotted some merchants, but small tankers/freighters. around 1000-1500 tons.
I actually ignored them. But then i was thinking... It doesn't make sense to just ignore the enemy haha. Even when you see a small target, you have to sink it. Thats why the deckgun comes in handy, but the type II doesn't have that.
The IX boats are great for long patrols. If i remember correctly you have 22 torpedoes? You can basically return from 1 patrol with 22 ships sunk
(even more if you use the strong 10.5mm deckgun)
For a perfect balanced game, i like the VIIC or VIIB. Medium patrols with a decent amount of torpedoes, and a decent 88mm deck gun.
I actually never used the XXI uboat.
