I love the little type II's! Why it was only 2 weeks ago that I was debating (in my first GWX 2.0 career BEFORE I was killed) if I even wanted to trade in my nice IID for a VIIB. Sounds crazy, I know, but I love those little boats. And the extra range of the IID makes it A LOT more versatile compared to a IIA. Now, if only you could choose to mount a 37mm or heavy flak of some sort instead of a 2cm machine gun, I would keep my IID for the WHOLE WAR! I've seen a thread or two on this topic... I would love to see it done! Unfortunately, I do not have the technical know-how to edit the game to that extent. To all who have responded so far, THANK YOU for taking the time to share your expertise with me. Good hunting, my fellow kaleuns!!
