Sorry to the type II's fans but it is my impression.
Hey, tastes differ so no need to be sorry. I personally love the little critter - just finished my 8th patrol with her and everyone's still alive and happy! I've sunk some 25kt of shipping which I wouldn't say is too much at all, but then my main aim is to survive as long as I can instead of cowboying all around the Nordsee and ending up with my a*se blown to bits...

So yeah, I love that boat. Made one patrol in a VIIB, too, but promptly changed back because this IIA babe is small, compact, nimble and even occasionally deadly - and hey, there're less Bernards there to worry about too! So a tight package she is indeed

But each to their own of course. The real Atlantic warhorse, the VIIC/41, is a different case though IMO - will definitely get her if I make it alive so far.

S! m8.
