On the other hand, at least one XXI was bombed and sunk while it was transferring to a new base. For all intents and purposes in terms of the simulation... the Type XXI is no more than a conjectural boat. For this reason, it received less modding attention from us than the real "workhorses" of the U-boat fleet. (That being said... we expended a fair bit of effort to fix the worst of its problems.... If you think the battery life/Submerged range of the Type XXI is bad now... you should have seen it before. We were forced to make a compromise their due to the strange physics of this u-boat type in SH3. The impression that I get, is that is was a bit of an experiment that the SH3 devs made.) |
Good to hear. I think a lot of people tend to see the Type XXI as some sort of submersible Me-262. The truth was it never really got a chance to cut it's operational teeth the way it's jet plane counterpart did. In the game the Type XXI will probably always perform far better than it would have under real life conditions.
