Type VIIF

Jmack · 12-20-06, 11:46 PM

This would be an amazing boat to have in the game ... i know only 4 of them where built but since we have VCII/42 and none was built

the Type VIIF was bigger by 10.5 meters than the regular VIIC
and could carry more 24 EXTRA torpedos than VIIC boats . some sources mention that these boats, designed in 1941, were primarily built as torpedo transports and were never fitted with the typical 88mm deck guns found on other VII type boats. They had 5 torpedo tubes (4 at the bow and 1 at the stern) and as attack boats they would carry 14 torpedoes but in their transport role they would have up to 39 torpedoes onboard.

the Type VIIF could take 2 more crewmen and i had refrigerated food
storage , it was faster in average by a knot than the VIIC either on surface
or submerged.

the main purpose of this boats was to take extra torpedos to the u-boats in the front line and suport for the monsun boats

Sounds very similar to a type 9 thiough. or maybe its a halfway point between a 7 and a 9.

There isn't much point to haveing a supply boat if there are no other boats to supply.

I think he just wants to use all the 39 torpedoes himself!

Maybe the VIIFs are the Milkcows we have for our resupply.

But then again, 39 torpedoes does sound nice. Think about it, it's the tonnage we want. Besides, my crew is sick of spoiled food. They want refrigerated food storage asap.

LOL

Type VIIF: From uboat.net
Construction history of this type

Boats ShipyardWerk #Built duringU-1059 - U-10624 Germaniawerft, Kiel693 - 6961941 - 1943

These boats, designed in 1941, were primarily built as torpedo transports and were never fitted with the typical 88mm deck guns found on other VII type boats. They had 5 torpedo tubes (4 at the bow and 1 at the stern) and as attack boats they would carry 14 torpedoes but in their transport role they would have up to 39 torpedoes onboard. Two of them, U-1062 and U-1059, were sent to support the Monsun boats in the far East waters. They were the largest and heaviest type VII boats built.
