So i can replay it in more fantasy mode
Type XI U-cruisers Huge U-boats, designed in 1937-1938, with 4 127mm deck guns in two gun-towers (one fore and aft of the conning tower). 6 torpedo tubes (4 in the bow and two at the stern, all below the CWL). One Ar 231 small aircraft in a watertight 2.6m in diameter container shaft. These boats were to have a crew of about 110 men almost double that of any constructed German U-boat. 4 contracts (U-112 thru U-115) were awarded to the AG Weser yard in Bremen on Jan 17, 1939 but wisely cancelled at the outbreak of war in September that year and none of the boats had been laid down at the time (some sources mention U-112 as being laid down but that does not make sense). These boats are often claimed to not only have been completed but sailed, usually on very clandestine missions and for good measure words like SS, Hitler, Bormann and the like are thrown into the mix. None of this is true and they very certainly not black as some suggest as it is somewhat hard to paint something that does not exist black. Now lets take convoy DD for a head to head ![]() |

Why not have a nuclear type xxi with laser rays and cruise missles.

There's a project to salvage it.
found a topic in subsim forum http://www.subsim.com/radioroom//showthread.php?t=96054 theres a link to the story. I'm not asking a USS Entrerprise sub. But a sub that was a unique design, one of these was produced and operational. There's also the French Surcouf Sub that needed more than 2 minutes to dive... So don't laugh, i would enjoy the the possibility of taking the command of a prototype sub as a reward. |
