How to have a XVIII in campiagn?

[Raptor1]

The XVIII boats we're never actually completed, so we'll never know

Don't know if the XXIs had the hydrogen-peroxide drive...

XXI's certainly did not. The XXIII's did (on paper, since that's where they existed), and the range certainly doesn't sound unreasonable.

From http://www.uboat.net/types/xviii.htm

Range
(nm/kts)
3000/17 sf
45/4 sm
202/24 sm*

it seems that so little fuel and battery they have, compare with ixd and xxi =.=

Err, the XXIIIs we're operational even before the XXIs

We're talking about the XVIIIs (18), not the XXIIIs (23)

It's quite easy (ok, really easy) to modify the game to start a career in the XVIII, even in the 1943 campaign. The only thing is you start out with some technologies (advanced radar, advanced sonar, etc) that arent normally available that early.

I dunno how long the H2O2 lasts for range, but I was able to do 25kts submerged, and something like 29 kts surfaced running on it.

I can make 25 knots underwater, and usually 28 surfaced, but the range of that thing SUCKS , would much rather have an Elektro, atleast those can stay underwater...pretty much forever...
