You're only saying so because you've
been there and done that!
Your biography would probably prove to be an even more entertaining and engrossing read than the best fiction, Brag!
meduza, you might grow to love the "Einbaum". Those Type II boats may be small but they're almost as stealthy and quiet as a XXI, with a small profile which renders them hard to detect both visually and using ASDIC, making them perfect for harbor and coastal raiding. Crew management is also much simpler. You do have to pick your shots carefully, though. It's a shame the designers couldn't figure out a way to squeeze in a few more torpedo reloads.
If you plan on sticking with the Type II, definitely grab the upgrade to the IID. It has greater range than the IIA, thanks to larger fuel tanks, and a better surface speed with the more powerful diesels.
Managing fuel consumption in the IIA can be a real challenge when your patrol sends you out to places where you barely have enough fuel to intercept more than a few targets of you still want to have enough left in your tanks to make it home.
