my favorite would be the VIIC...pretty fast, good loadout, good depth, and maneuverablility. Always last the longest in a VIIC...ur all around U-boat

My next favorite would be a IIA. Very good diving time, very hard to pick up on sonar and very very maneuverable, was the U-boat that made me a good shot being that u only have 5 torps and gotta make them count.

I officially after a previous career hate the IX series...the reasons why are pretty obvious LOL. Got two careers goin right now a IIA and a VIIC.

Type VIIC/B for me. The Type IX's just turn into death traps and the Type II just dont do it.

Any Type IX....plenty of firepower and range to explore far off places.

Type VII.
VIIB for early war, then once the viic/41 is available with the Cobalt/GWX player sub.

VIIC/41 - the ultimate convoy attack boat.

My vote goes to the type VIIB/C and the type XXI.

Despite their vulnerabilities I've always been fond of the IX. If the game had originally come with the diminutive Type XXIII, that one would be a favorite too. Only three torpedoes but that makes for a short, sweet patrol and I bet they would be tough to find on sonar.
