well lets not forget its the entire "class" of type VII u-boats and not just one boat. there are several versions of that type VII class so when compared to the US fleetboats of sh4 which also didnt have many major changes between them untill the gato/balao then i would say you still have several subs to choose from within that one class of sub.

the simular versions of the fleetboats and the numerous type VII uboats of sh5 are IMO very much in line with each other and while having different class u-boats would have been nice too, i dont think anyone will feel like they dont have a choice of boat to use with that boats individual own differences


oh and by the way its perfectly reasonable to be unreasonable as long as the reason you are being unreasonable is a reasonable one

I've gone on record as saying I'll buy it but won't play it until I can play in a Type II. The truth is, if I can get a computer that will run it I'll certainly give it a good once-over to see if I might like it. After all, I played Silent Service for a good long time, and it had only the Gato and no campaign to speak of at all - just driving around the Pacific looking for things to sink. It was very random though.

I can fully understand why some people want the full-war extension and all the different types of boats. I can also understand why those things aren't in this base game. Dan & Co. have worked hard and long to give us a game/sim they think we will like. The least we can do is respect that effort and find out for ourselves how good or bad it really is before we consign them to the nether regions.

@ WEBSTER: I'm reasonably certain that I'm not being unreasonable when I say that that is one of the most reasonable statements I've had reason to read recently. Reasonable enough?

Yes they will
VIIA, VIIB, VIIC, and VIIC 41 if I remember correctly that is.

Wise words, I couldn't have said it better myself.
