For me the VII tipe is a training boat like tipe II after a lot of time using big boats.

i always use the IX boats since "Aces of the deep" because i love the torpedo load, range, torpedo tube configuration and endurance.

with 21 torpedoes i can do 3 convoy attacks firing 6 torpedoes each.

with 3 torpedoes in reserve... a huge firepower.

Geeez what's all about SW stuff? U re freakin me out :rotfl:

Finished my 1 patrol after 2 months

with 76510 tons of Allied ships incl. a patrol boat sunk with 3 rounds of 105mm and a DD. Well it wasn't the most realistic patrol ever... visited Halifax and all other 3 ports, nothing interesting. Could have sunk much more but run out of torps on that pesky DD...

Can I sink anything but a fishing boat with that 3.7cm gun or is it useless?

Tell me one thing, as this was a long patrol I had plenty of time to read all the messages. BdU orders to attack for ex. any tankers, even neutral (American) because they have a war cargo. So what to do? Will I get renown for sinking those or maybe a punishment?

I don't know about the boat, it's ok but is there such a big difference? Range is huge but standard VIIC was enough for me, in VIIC rarely I took out my externals as the weather was dull and in calm seas at stop I was like a sitting duck for mosquitos. In 39 I can do it as I haven't seen a single airplane.

I'll make another one, try to chase some convoys.

No you can't sink anything with it, it is useless.:rotfl:

These message are just immersion eye candy. If you do happen across any neutrals and sink them you will get a negative renown hit.

Which boat do you mean? There are significant differences between the types II VII and IX but only minor ones between classes within the types.

Eeeer read again. What is this thread about? A Vader Duck? :rotfl: I say VIIC/2 without DG is all I need to be a killer with decent tonnage >50k on a short 20 day patrol, once in stock I tried C41 or 42 but I can't remember it even. This IX really dives too long... hmm. I'll go on my next assignment as I make my self a mug of coffee.

If and when you upgrade to the 3.7cm twin you'll find it to be the deadliest flack weapon of all

IrischKapitan · 07-28-07, 07:05 AM

One hit with the 37mm is enough to make pesky mosquitoes and hurricans explore the bottom of the atlantic

That would be the end of my IXB career... I'm going back to my VIIC/2 without DG in 1943 campaign. Sorry this 9 is like a tank, surface fight with multiple DDs under heavy gunning from the shore. Sunk 5 DD from my gun? Excuse me but VII would be gone during the first encounter. Hull looked like a swiss cheese, lots of destructions, bombed, rammed but it still floats and the DG is working... I can't play realistic in this tank, sorry
