Preferred U-Boats

Just opening this topic to see which U-boat you prefer...
Except the type XXI... ( it's too good to be on the list )

ps. U-Boats that are in SH3 only, please...

Hmm....bit of toughie, as I like all of them. But as i've had the most patrols in it, its got to be the workshorse of the U-boat fleet - the Type VII/C

Type VIIs I think are the coolest, but I have a special fondness for the Type II.

Type VII. Quick diving time and great handling. Just looks 'right'.

Type IX FTW

Type XXIII for a very different ride

I used to be a classic VII guy myself, but lately I find the IX a much sleeker looking boat, with extra punch. Gotta love that knife edge bow.

I like my IXD2 cause its a sea cow. That goes on 250 day patrols. That survived a trip to germany in 1945. That escaped to Argentina-(thats my favorite part )
