Yes, I have yielded to temptation in every campaign so far and upgraded to a bigger boat; I have driven everything except IXDs, but looking back, it was always the Type II that gave me the creepiest U-Boat feeling.

I can appreciate what it must be like to drive the Type II, perhaps at higher realism settings. I'm just not that type of sub simmer (yet?) I don't play at terribly high realism settings. The VII is the best ship for me, for the same reasons that most people have mentioned.
