88mm deck gun, firing HE. Very, very good at naval gunnery now.

Torpedo wise I always brought all gas/steam torpedoes until 1942, then I started carrying a mix, initially gas/steam heavy and then even. In 1945, now, I tend to carry a electric-heavy mix of torpedoes, carrying the gas-steam torpedoes for valuable targets in low light conditions.

Though I am a big fan of my C/38 20mm Flakzweiling guns as well; I tend not to submerge under air attack as if I do that I stand a pretty good chance of eating a few Wabos as I go under, whereas if I stand on the surface at ahead flank making radical turns and directing my gunner's fire, I can shoot down literally dozens of enemy aircraft. Especially now that I've upgraded U568 to the mod three type tower with the two light single heavy emplacement.
