Great crash dive time and like it has been mentioned a good sleek sexy look.

Nice boat, nice skin. The majority of my time was spent in a VIIC in SH3.

I'm sure that the crews of the Sneland I, Avondale Park, and the few others sunk by Type XXIII's would be interested to know that the boats that sank them weren't in service...

Besides, a XB might be interesting, but I'd get bored playing a XIV.

The Type XXIII is perfect for late war close to the British Isles: Small, quick, agile, and a crash dive time in the single digits. It's the ultimate 'sneak into a harbor' boat. The last two ships sunk by a U-boat in WWII were sunk by a single Type XXIII inside the Firth of Forth. Not bad for having only two 'eels'.

Another interesting fact: None of the XXIII 'fronteboot' were sunk by enemy action. Six boats made 10 patrols from January to May 1945, and none of them were sunk. A comparable effort by Type VIIC's, or even IID's, would have resulted in most of the boats being sunk.

There is even a better case for the Type XXIII than the XXI: No XXI boat sank an enemy ship, and only two had just started patrols when the war had ended.

But other than that, I completely agree with you...

As the founding member of the IX Club he is what to do, Someone just start up a club for you Type VII Kapitans.

Easy as pie, piece of cake.

I would like to be in the type VII club. maybe we could name it something gawdy like how the type IX club calls themselves "exclusive."
here are some power-words:
1. the high speed, low drag type VII club
2. the elite type VII club
3. nevermind, I like #2 the best.

Maybe we could have a catchy slogan:

Had a bit of a culture shock going from my trusty IIA to a, shall we say, "reconditioned" VIIB ... the brits actually can see and hit me now, with their bombs and depth charges! Yikes!

(Having a deck gun and double digit eels makes up for it in time, I suspect)

Not to forget the extra fuel and speed herr kaluen.

That culture shock will soon turn into a trusty home away from home serenity.
