I dont want to sound like the old one here. But u-47 was a VIIA. Also sh-III did indeed have the correct VIIB

Perhaps its unrealistic, but hell it sure looks 100% better then the Real VIIB tower

In that case why not have an m1a1 turret with a 120mm smootbore gun , laser range finder and ballistic computer insted of the historical deck gun in sh-5. That would look so much cooler!

Perhaps a modder can do this?

Didn't the devs already take care of the laser range finder?

Sorry to argue with you Oscar19681 but Priens U-47 was a type VIIB. Check on u boat.net. Grrrr I've done it again, sorry folks but I make the mistake of not reading the rest of the thread.

In the books and Wikipedia U47 is an early VII b it doesn't have also a stern torpedo with bulge typial of VIIa.

What Books? And wikipedia?

Type VIIB U45-55, 4 bow tubes; 1 stern tube!
The type seven B main diferences from the type seven, that after B was denominated A, was the internal stern tube, diffrent conning tower shape; the flak gun being in the tower, and the improved range, fuel capacity, etc; that I can not remember at this time.

I do believe that is what Florent said Rhodes.

Florent · 02-23-10, 05:29 PM

Wikipedia : unterseeboot type VII
I have an Orbis publishing of the 1984-86 Weapons Encyclopedia about Axis Submarine. And an Heimdal book about submarine, in both U47 is a type b or early type b.
On propaganda films on youtube about U47, when you can look at the stern, there is no indication of a type A stern (a bulge). Only VIIa had this bulge.

I heard that you can upgrade to the m1a1 turret if your captain has gained level 14 deck gun skill and you've defeated the Kraken Boss on level 34.

You do of course need to have earned the torpedoes of doom loot from the Davy Jones' Locker level - it's the only way to knock off all those hit points.
