Default Type II/D Hunter-Killers!

One often overlooked aspect of the uboat was was BdU's idea to use the small, yet manueverable type II/D to hunt enemy destroyers and other warships in their home waters. BdU usually selected their most daring and unorthodox captains to command these vessels as they plunged head first into the waters that surrounded the British Isles.

Destroyer captains were now finding themselves under attack as they head out into the deep Atlantic. The English Channel and the Irish Sea were no longer safe as these little submarines went about their sneaky business.


Of course what I wrote above really didnt happen. Its a little fluff I use in my endless type II/D campaigns against the Brits in their home waters. A nice change of pace to forget tonnage and go after the hunters. Amazing how these little boats can get away, even in shallow waters.
