Looks cool indeed! However i prefer to have the early VIIC tower configuration simply because it looks cooler and its the version featured in all the movie that had uboat one way or another. Allthought i might get the updated version sooner or later i do think it looks a little more like a battleship then a submersible. Also for me it symbolses the dimese of the uboat force.

It's also damned foolish; submarines were never meant to engage aircraft, their best defence is to remain hidden. The twin winter garden only adds to drag while submerged, which in turn reduces speed, and ups battery consumption. Not the best of ideas.

Looks armed to the teeth. Still, I'm parcial to a B with upgraded wintergarden.

Does that Radar mast double as a basket for a deep fat fryer in the galley?

Sorry, British humour

Very nice, now only we need a IX-C boat and a 1943-1945 campaign

with radars the thing is easier

Always thought the GWX one, at least, looked like something to hang wet clothes on.

Nice box spring mattress you got there. Bet it causes a hell of a lot of flow noise, though.
