VIIB and upgrades

Gilbou · 03-18-10, 05:29 AM

Im using a type VIIB which I am very happy with (removed the deck gun from mine).

Will I be able to get the same upgrades as the VIIC except the conning tower and AA guns ?

I am not really interested in a bigger kintergarden. Nor the AA guns as I prefer to avoid fighting airplanes on surface.

The only upgrades I am interested in are the other ones : the coating of the sub, and so on...

Have no fear, you can get all the upgrades you desire (except flak - no big deal).

Gilbou · 03-18-10, 06:23 AM

Cool

Love the VIIB.

Ja!
Although the IXB is my darling, I do like the VIIB.
(Not a VIIC fan, at all.)

I prefer my rowing boat personally

Guess which one I mean.
Seriously though,I like the IX's range but prefer the VIIs for all round performance and handling.

Its only 1940 for me and I can't get my IXD2 verdammnt.

Are you sure that the only thing we can't get with the B is the conning towers that enable the flak modifications?

If so, this is good news to me. I have always saved my renown until I got the C and then upgraded.

Learn something every day

100% positive.

I like the VIIB, but not the VIIC.
All the electronic goodies are available.

Flak Gunners are like Medics.
I keep them both, and hope I'll never need them.

Speaking of which, does the medic ever make a difference in the game?

Never had an injured crewman, but from what I've read . . . No.
(I'll keep one around though, just in case.
People who believe everything they read . . . shouldn't read.)

It's interesting to note that, if they do work, an officer medic can never help another officer's recovery. (One officer slot per berthing compartment.)

I've never really taken the time to check, but I like to keep an officer (or two if it's a big boat) and one other person qualified as Medics anyways. Just in case.

I wonder if it's possible for an regular medic to affect an officer's recovery?

all you need is 1 flak gun to give our deck gun covering fire. i prefer the iia or iid miget subs lol.

Jimbuna · 04-15-10, 09:13 AM

No takers for the XXI or XXIII?

Reinhard Dietz · 04-15-10, 07:12 PM

Oh sure, I'll take an XXI. I've had minimal experience in them, but they're big, they're fast and they're usually equipped with pleasant torpedoes. I'm sure I'll be needing one in very short order in late 1940.

That area around the flak is called the Wintergarten just to let you know
