The most succesful German submarine of WW2 was U-48, a VIIb type. That's a fact.  |
The most succesful class was the IXB and thats a fact . VII's there is no point arguing and If I said that the Flower Corvette was the most powerfull DD yes DD of WW2 on TV you would beleive me? |
Oh boy,
Stop blabbing and check this out:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unterseeboot_48_%281939%29
Statistics matey! |
You linked 1 boat now just find the statistics for all the other IIB's compare them to the IXB's and tell me what you find out. Also using wikipedia to back up an argument is a bad idea wikipedia is a open sourced information center anyone can write anything that they want about it. So NEXT time read the full post. Oh and heres my backup. http://uboat.net/types/index.html
Would you look at that IXB most victorious IIC workhorse IIB awww nothing. And unlike wiki this is a good source which contains captains logs etc. Now next time promise me you will look up the facts arguing yours before you go ahead and make yourself look like a fool. Ive been around discussion forums quite a bit mostly bf2s.com Debate and Serious Talk section. So I do know what im talking about.... most of the time  , and this is that most of the time.
Quoted from U-boat.net
"Type IXB was an improved version of type IX with increased range of 1500 nautical miles and slightly heavier. The designed was improved again in the IXC type.
This type was the most successful overall with each boat averaging over 100,000 tons of sinking. They had 23 torpedoes stored which gave a determined U-boat commander a serious striking power which could be used night after night against the same convoy, as was often the case.
Perhaps the most famous IXB boat was the U-123 under the command of Kptlt. Hardegen which opened up the attack in the US waters in early 1942 known as Operation Drumbeat. U-107, under the command of Hessler, made the most successful convoy mission of the war over with close to 100,000 tons sunk out of Freetown, Africa." |
First of all, i quoted Wikipedia because it's an open source and easily revisable. The link was to U-48 which is presented very scrupulously in the Wiki. Second, i've done that to show you why the VII type boat was voted No1 in that TV show. It's because of it iconic value. U-48 was the most single succesful u-boat in the WW2 and that's where this iconic status derives from. As well as VII type commanders were the best known. That's all there is.
And yes i know
www.uboat.net, a brilliant site, but the information in this case was better put in the Wiki.
You take it way too personally mate.
For the record i linked the statistic with a VIIb boat not IIb.
Oh, and about reading the full post, it's not about combat capabilities of certain subs, because how to compare IX type to Typhoon class? Ergo, i don't think you understood the subject of this thread.
