yeah, nationalistic polemics had to happen in such a thread eventually, as much a pity as that is.

Hah, exactly.

Hey with the right skillz and some good soup you can dive, turn, and surface in the blink of the eye. Regardless of what boat.

I maxed out those skills just to see and holy crap I can dive in less than 10 seconds

So.. uhh.. how can you really make any kind of comparison?

Heh, i thought exactly that the first i saw this thread. I admit comparisons are fun, so long as they are fair and proper. However, all to often people are far too eager (or too ignorant) and start comparing fleet boats to type 7's, that's like comparing an SUV to a sports car, or comparing type 7's to type 9's. In general this topic is rather interesting or frustrating, depending on the level of ignorance displayed by either side of the argument. Regardless it is a topic has been beat into the ground with a pile driver.

Don't forget thread drift - always entertaining!

I see we've migrated from a comparison of subs, to discussing German Panzer divisions....

Mike.

P.S. Who chose the order of the Avatars? I see I've been shipwrecked!

Yep. And now we're on dog food puns.

Though I wasn't actually drifting - I knew exactly where I was going.

@ Krauter: You might want to find a copy of War Beneath The Sea, by Peter Padfield. He gives a nice overview of every nation's submarine efforts; how they developed and what they accomplished. It doesn't go as deep as some others, but it really gives a feel for what the aims of the different navies were and how their technologies, both sub and ASW, developed.
