Same feelings here. I started with SHIV and liked the s-boat too. I never changed to anything higher than a Porpoise (that's also a beauty).
But the Pacific got boring quickly. It was just too easy even with RFB and RSRDC.
Now in SH III I'm in Nov. 1940 on my 12th patrol in U45 (type VIIB) and have a lot of fun.
The only thing that keeps me from using the Type II is that you have to start in Kiel and have to go through that channel. That just takes to much time...
