from personally being on the u-505 on numerous ocassions........well to put it lightly,......in order to create an accurate interior of a type IXC it would require re-doing the entire command room. its flippen rediculous how inaccurate the game portrays the IX interior. The real interior is so cramped you have to stand up slouched. There is hardly any room to move around in the command room AND I MEAN HARDLY. It's like "oops I dropped the soap" close quaters, and there isnt even enough room to pick it back up without pushing somone out of the way. It would also require shrinking the whole zentrale to a smaller scale while keeping the officers/sailors the original size, to create the proper claustrophobic feeling. There is not one square inch of empty space on the wall. It is a wonderland of gauges, tubes, wires, pipes, nozzles, valves, etc. I suggest we stick with the stuff we already have. It seems the longer this game is out the more accurate and real people want it to be. Which is admirable. However it requires an immense amount of work and quite frankly I don't think it can be done. But then again........that has been said before. Several times.
I cant comment on the interior of the VII being as though I've never been on one.
Oh! and the stove in the type II is a stove.....not a hotplate. The VII's had hotplates.
