Fleet Boat vs. U Boat

Depends on my mood really I like both about equally.When I play as a fleet boat I am running TMO as a German I play OM.The best feature about the U-boats for me would be their TDC (the one that OM has in good detail) and I also like the fact the German torpedoes are bit more powerful also they have more speed options.The German hydrophones are much better than the Americans.Downside wise the Germans have poor radar compared to the US and for me personally the U-boats having only two engines when you must charge the batteries it takes longer and slows the boat more which can be a big liability.Generally much more challenging playing as a German due to no radar early on which makes hunting harder.

Fleet Boats I like the higher torpedo load out(though the German IX has more than the US boats) Faster crash dive times (not sure why the OP thinks that the U-boats are faster the 7 is but the 9 is slower diving)No dealing with external torpedoes.Better tube layout(though in the type IX with the better torps this is somewhat nullified).Far superior radar systems and higher speeds.I do not like the TDC interface as much from certain aspects.

Never a fan of the Nazi thing when anyone who knows knows that the majority of the Grey Wolves where not members of the Nazi party and liked things like Jazz something the Nazis frowned upon they where I think the least Nazi branch of the German military.
