Wilkommen zum Subsim Herr Kaleun!

I don't recall there being a mod which models this sub type. IIRC there were only two of them in service and both were sunk by the end of 1940 anyway apart from being used primarily for minelaying duties. According to my reading on the subject they were a pig of a boat to sail as well (IIRC Clay Blair in his books refers to them several times as "clumsy"), so I don't think anyone has bothered to model them.

Would be interesting to play with from an historical perspective but they don't sound like they'd be much fun.

Gute Jagd!
