viia looks almost like viib........ except the conning tower which differs a little.
Surface ship---->1 deck gun and 2 mini flak same as VIIB
VIIB is faster and has more agility because it has 2 rudders, crush depth might be deeper.
Unless you are someone who wants to challenge the impossible
I doubt you will like it
Now if you want to have a modification on the conning tower, there is alot of mod for that. I think in the visual/mod there is a bunch of modder working on it.

no the VIIA does not like quite the same
the VIIA had an EXTERNAL Stern Tube, while the VIIB had an internal Tube that could be reloaded at sea, what was not possible in a VIIA

This is a VIIA, you might see the huge difference between VIIA and VIIB

well, I would think you could do it by modding a type VIIB to have a single torpedo in the stern tube. Then just use a simple 3D editor to drag the bottom point of the tower back to lok more like a VIIC's, but we can't use the VIIC turm because it looks too modern to use.
