I can say now, having put to sea in a nice new VIIC/41 "WeisseSchnecke", it comes with the type2 conning tower, rather than the type 3, and no schnorkel fitted.
The deck gun is indeed absent, but I am yet to see if that amounts to an advantage in the game. I.e., it doesn't appear to yield faster submerged speed and i don't know how i can assess the quieter running that this may permit.
At the moment i'm not sure whether or not it was a wise investment...i was saving up reknown for a XXI
