My first time playing was in a type II out of Willhemshaven in 1939.. I hated the small torpedo loadout and the slow speed.. I finally earned the helm of a VII and began reacking up the renown and experience.. I'm currently skippering U-805 (IXC boat out of Lorient) and have the range to get to the caribbean and back if my initial patrol is a bust.. Single tankers and cargos
Even with the slow dive time, the IXC is a formidible threat to the many convoys I've been encountering.. I've returned from most patrols with 50K-70K tons of shipping sunk..
