Why would you want to? Is it that much better? Me persoanlly, I am saving up for the new Type VIIB...I should have it when I go into port next.

I wanted to start a more challenging career. I commanded a Type VIIB for 14 patrols in my first career. Great u-boat, but it takes forever to dive in it. I'm planning on lots of harbor raids in the Type IID. The IID has 3 1/2 times the range of the IIA and can dive in 25 seconds. Not too shabby...

I Sank a ship in a type II but that was along time ago..

Lot a skill required to do well in the type II

I like em

I'm playing a career right now in a IIb, got 3 large cargo, and an auxillary cruiser all from the same convoy last night before it scattered. Thinking about upgrading now though because there are never enough torps and my fuel always runneth over because I conserve a lot. However, I do enjoy a good harbor raid....

Welcome aboard Kaleun pioneer162

You can rid yourself of the range limitation if you dock with the milch cow as your leaving your home port

I love the tpye IID submarines. Although they don't have the range, torepdo load or size of the type VII or IX this makes it mroe of a challenge. I'm currently on my 10th patrol aboard U-140 a type IID. Sank 77875 of shipping throughout my career with it including a auxillary cruiser and a number of depot ships and landing crafts. No one here can argue that doing a port raid is far simpler in a type II then a larger VII or IX. I've snuk into about a dozen british ports and have only taken minor damage from destroyer attack. I use to love using the VIIC subs but it just got boring. They're huge compared to the IID and have a large torpedo load(which isn't bad but its not as challenging).

don't know why everyone complains about the IID's range. It'll go over 18,000 km at 5 knots.

I just finished my 7th patrol in my first Type II career. Sank 2 C2's and 3 C3's. I'm absolutely loving the dive times and maneuverability.

abclkhan · 12-12-07, 08:28 AM

I have done 12 patrols on a type IIA, and got used to its limitations. Recently I bought a VIIB and upgraded its battery. Its better in underwater range, absolutely a better sub.

But after learning how to manage fuel, torps and navigation in type II, my use of VIIB got more rational...

What really please me in type II is the smaller times we spend on each patrol
