Sub Upgrades

[Murr44]

Since you're playing with GWX you can hit the F1 key & a list of pages will be displayed. One of them is called something like "U-Boat Time & Distance" (can't remember the exact name at the moment). Click on this page & it will give you the maximum depth, range, speed & minimum dive time for each playable U-Boat.

lo moosey

i know you were asking about upgrades of the same class ingame.

but if you do change to a IXb at some point you will love the extra torp loadout BUT....man...she dives like a bloated bail of cork!!!

rarely have i escaped damage from an aircraft with this sea cow!!
but i cant give her up for some reason!!

shes part of me...a good boat....with good men

Yeah, i have tended to wait until radar warning equipment becomes available before swapping for a type IX.

I also love the look of them, the raised bow, the big gun, the extra torps, expansive interior...

Of course by 1942 some later variants have come out that dive a little quicker.

You can also look the details up. They are in the data\Cfg\Basic.cfg file. Equipment is listed at the end of the file. I had a programme somewhere which converted Basic.cfg into a table. I'll see if I can find it.

However, I did find this list for GWX-2.1... (sorry about the formatting!)
