Well, my fav skin in the game (Venatore's Type IIA) is a Type II, so...they get a lot of action from me.
Plus, the smaller crew is a ****LOAD easier to manage. No, seriously. Keeping all those Type IX guys napped up really pisses me off some times!
Dudes don't know when to hit the sack!

I think I read somewhere that in real life, type II boats carried 5 torpedoes, 3 in the tubes and 2 reloads. I suppose there simply wasn't space to store them! |
Mixed opinions on this.
"Official" load appears to be 3 in the tubes, and 2 reloads on racks - although some Type IIs were apparently built with only 2 tubes, depended on the yard. Anyway, lore tells us that some captains took a 6th torpedo, and strapped it to the deck in the torpedo room in place of extra stores (short patrols, anyway) for opportunity use.
