U-Flak Boats were used to escort normal U-boats in and out of port, Im not sure if these boats ever went out on actual patrols.
I think they only converted 4, at first they were pretty successfull at giving the RAF a nasty surprise, but eventaully the allies just used different tactics.
The flak boats were converted back to regular VII's...
I tried duking it out with a plane in 42 east of gibralter, I shot it down but lost my gunner in the process, not to mention some other damages.
Not worth it, just dive.
