Which U-Boot do you use?

Camaero · 12-10-05, 01:57 AM

Just curious which one everyone enjoys sailing in the best? I myself am very new to the game and have only sailed in the VIIB so far. She is a fine ship but then again I have nothing to compare it to!

So which model do you use and why?

TteFAboB · 12-10-05, 03:57 AM

Try the IX class, they are big, fat, slow to dive, slow to turn, carry way too many men and ammunition, but are delicious!

If the VII is a Fox or a fine Rapier the IX is a Rhino or a clumsy big sabre.

Not that it matters though, since all DD's have Elephant guns. :rotfl:

VIIB, only because the net cutter rocks!!! I even made it my sig!

Krupp · 12-10-05, 04:06 AM

Type VIIB ---> C as soon as it becomes available. It has pretty good torpedo capacity, dives fast enough (hopefully

), has a good general maneuverability. Patrol endurance for 8 weeks is more than enough. It looks good.

CptGrayWolf · 12-10-05, 12:25 PM

Type 7c of course!

I'm a IX skipper at heart (IXB/C primarily)

davidaspy · 12-10-05, 12:42 PM

Im an XI man but in this campaign im trying to stick to the VII's

its a shame that there is such a limited selection in SH3 i could have sworn that germany had more uboat types.

capturing over nations subs and using them in your fleet isnt unknown after all, the brits finished WW2 with a type 7 in the fleet.

My favourite is the IID, it's a great little sub and it looks good too

I played my first few careers in a VIIb/c so they still remain a second favourite. Especially when I want to experience different tactics, eg, the deck guns and snorkels.

Takeda Shingen · 12-10-05, 05:35 PM

I usually start in a IIA, then move to VIIB as soon as possible. I am never in a big hurry to move from there, so I transfer to Bergen, move to the VIIC/41 and, if lucky enough to survive so long, wait for the XXI.

Spaxspore · 12-10-05, 07:13 PM

When i first got the game all i would use was the type IX, mainly for its usage torp hold, and overall indirence.

I then switched to a type 7c, overall good boat.

Now i started a new campiagn and tryin out a 39-45 campagin with type II.

Type II benefits, on urber fast dive, small size hard to spot/hit.

And its just dead sexy

VIIC maxed out with everything.
IXD-2 maxed out with everything.
RUSSIAN Kilo improved SS diesel class max out with......

I am in 1941 right now and I'm still in a VIIB. I see no advantage to moving to a VIIC or a VIIC/41. Are there just little extras available in the C series that are not available in the B?

When the VIIC/42 becomes available that seems like a nice upgrade - two extra torpedoes and much better max depth.
