Although I love the type VII, I often play the Type II more. Because I start campaigns more often and not finish them, or end up sinking before I transfer to the VII. I like the challenge too.

Its the two torp load out that hurts the XXIII. If only it carried a Type II load out.

The very best convoy campaign attacks are on the Freetown convoys. For those one needs the IX

Type XXI does not have a after torpedo tube,I dont like that.
If you have a destroyer surrounding you ,it is very difficult to fire a torpedo to the destroyer

^ Perhaps but you can dive quicker and achieve a faster submerged speed to avoid him.

I'm definitely a Type VII fan.

That said my vote went to the II. I played so much AOD that I feel like I'm cheating if I start a career with anything other than the duck. I usually switch to the VII after 4ish patrols.

Lately though, I've been dying before I can make the upgrade!

I love the dive times of the VIIC , but the capacity and range of the the IX series is hard to beat .

I love 'em both but I've been using the IX more for the extra firepower. With the Flakzwilling I can laugh at any plane!!
