Default Which is the better looking sub/U-boat

I started this on the SH4 forum and would like to see some more answers. It seems most spend their time here on the SH3 forum.

I agree with Res, somehow they seem to have a more menacing appeal. Plus, I don't much like playing for the good side.

The U-Boats are better looking, no doubt about it. Escpecially the Type VII.

I like U-boats (XXI like my warhorse U-17) but the US Barracuda looked cool to me though.
I like P-51 Mustangs too. Until they start firing at my boat.

I like the P-51 also but the bird for me is the P-40 Warhawk. Just better lines and cooler mystic about the it. Not to mention the famous sharks mouth that has seemed to found its way on to some U-boat skins!

Come on! The Spitfire with those gorgeous leaf shaped wings has got to be THE most beautify warplane of all time!

As for the subs I don't think you can go past the IX class.

I allways loved Russian sub "Typhoon" as thats Nato named.
It is big and massive.

If you talk here about flying machines then it is F-117, she is a beauty.

Got to go with the U-Boats be it for the small type II ducks To the forward thinking type XXI. The u-boats are just beautiful and have a great sence of fear that goes with them.

The spitfire is a very nice plane indeed. Funny that that airframe was almost not accepted by the British for the war!
