i think the uboat is a decent gun platform considering its speed and manouverablility... the armour is just a downside... ive taken out a flower corvette on the surface when i was out of torps. i took heavy damage yes.. but hes at the bottom of the drink... im not... also consider i took damage from earlier in the patrol, and that im grossly outclassed for a surface engagement, you can say im either lucky, or awesome at out manouvering a corvette. the key to survival is moving to the rear and around, never showing your broadside for too long. if i had 2 deckguns on my XI i could certainly fair very well in self-defence of course...
food for thought i guess... anyone want to give me 2 deckguns for the hell of it.. please do. id appreciate it. as im sure number of XI kaleuns would.
if theres one thing in the atlantic i hate more than hunter classes... its that f**cking BB-armed catalina.
worse than the ME-109 with the 120mm cannon
