What is your favorit Submarine?

Of the two u-boat types I've had the pleasure of commanding, I'd have to say my favorite is the VIIB. It's appreance is leaner than the VIIC and is more pleasing to my eye. I also like the slight edge in speed it has over the VIIC. Unfortunately, there will come a time when "upgrading" to the VIIC or one of the IX boats will become necessary just to have the equipment upgrades to make survival odds slightly better.

I really enjoyed my type IIA and the cozy feel of its smaller crew. Getting tonnage with very limited torpedo loadout was a challenge and striking targets in shallow waters was absolutely hair-raising when the escorts were hunting you in 40m of water.

One of these days I'd like to try a career in just the Type II boats and another one in the Type IX series.

In my current career, I was planning on moving to the XXI after the VIIC. Always wanted to try me one of them thar newfangled "Elektroboots".
