What year (42?) and in what Flotilla can I get the VIIC/42 uboat? I looked in the online manual but it only has listings for the 41.

Thanks:hmm:

dang...

lol...i was looking forward to using it. thought it might come out in 42. I have the ViiB right now. I like it and the VIIC doesn't seem to be that much of an improvement. What would you suggest as the next step up? The range and large loadout of torps on the IX class intrigues me but I hear they steer like a drunken mule...thanks for any info gents

The 42, U-flak? I've seen them on screenshots so they are in the game.

The VIIC has more upgrade posibility then the type VIIB,

I prefer the type VII over an IX , especialy when having trouble with pissed of escorts.

The truth is the VIIc/42 never existed. I've scoured the internet on info on it, and the best summary you'll find on uboat.net. If it did exist, it would have been the epitomy of WW2 diesal boats. Submerged handling and endurance of a type 7, surface performance and endurance of a type 9, deepest diving of any diesal boat of WW2, and *just* enough torpedos to make most any trip worthwhile. The concept of the C/42 ive always been in love with, but again, it never got off the slipways. A few were started, but construction was canceled.

I red that also, its ashame that they never have been used IRL.
If they had it earlier , that ship must be one of the best diesel subs in that era.
