kind of a moot point since ubi announced sh5 is a type VII only game

i actually prefer the type VII C myself but i tend to like anything that has lots of fish

BulSoldier · 01-20-10, 04:47 PM

Im diveded between VII and IX. So cant really say but i guess ill vote for VII

mookiemookie · 01-20-10, 04:48 PM

Give me the sun drenched Caribbean and the exotic port of Freetown in my spiffy Type IX.

AVGWarhawk · 01-20-10, 04:50 PM

Ones that are maintained as museum pieces only.

Ducimus · 01-20-10, 04:51 PM

My favorite sub is obviously a Gato or Balao, always has been, always will be. However, given their absence, well... S'cuse me while i dig up a fossil........

The type IX club, i wasn't just a member, i was a founder.

Not moot, on the contrary, several members are criticizing Ubi/the devs for their choice and implying that this would turn down a great number of customers. Maybe they're right, maybe not, as the Type VII is often perceived as the most popular, I'd think most people won't actually care about the other boats. So here's a poll to get a slightly better idea

Of corse Type IXC...It has more torpedoes and fuel isn't a big problem.It is better for submerged attacks.

kptn_kaiserhof · 01-21-10, 01:31 PM

AAtaman i agree with you

i like the ixd2 for the range and lots of fish

if a xxi type had a deck gun it would be my favorite

difool2 · 01-21-10, 02:59 PM

I'll hereby champion the 9 lurkers who also chose the XXI: I'm a big student of alternate history, and it is conceivable that Doenitz, if he had read the writing on the wall early enough, could have had something approximating the final design of the XXI by 1943 (i.e. a more or less true submarine and not a submersible). It gives you a reasonable shot at success at a time when other boats were obsolete deathtraps.

Jimbuna · 01-21-10, 03:38 PM

Type IXD2

Iron Budokan · 01-20-10, 04:54 PM

Type 7. Which, I am pressed to add, does not mean I have no interest in playing other types.

Adriatico · 01-20-10, 04:57 PM

Right question is - which u-boat played the main role in Atlantic campaign ? VIIc , of course...

JScones · 01-20-10, 06:13 PM

I'm quite partial to the VIIC.
