Hello.

My name is Santini, and I am a Type II addict.

Hi Santini.
I'm a IXaholic.

Enjoy your addiction to the fullest (IID).
And, perhaps a-bit late: Welcome aboard.

:-D I'm fair certain I'll get hooked when I upgrade to the VII, and even more so when I go IX. ... the IX is a beut

Ja. The IXB is my "drug of choice", along with lots of nicotine and caffine.

I love the IID. One of my favorite things about it is the short patrol times. With the bigger VII and IX you are out on the water longer, and I dont mind long patrols but I have learned that the longer the patrol is, the harder it is to manage your crew, specifically the Officers. The only thing I dont like is the lack of deck gun, but then again the sea is usually too rough to use it. I never keep the flak gun on my boat for the same reason. Its pretty useless anyway, you can crash dive really fast in the Type II.

Hi, and welcome.

The IID can be a fun boat, and, it is capable of fairly long patrols.
At least one made a round trip patrol fome France to Island.

I know, I have traveled from Kiel to the Whaling Station north of Scapa Flow in GWX 3.0 and traveled to the island north of Norway and still had enough to get back to Kiel.

I am proud to say I am part of this club.

My 2 favorite subs are the IID and my Preggo sea cow (IXD2).

I use either when I'm bored (IXD2) or need a quick fix (IID)

Hello everyone. I too found myself in love with the II U-Boat at first sight. What a great sub that is! Small, agile, and just so darn cool looking and great. I love it much more than all the other U-Boats available in that game, and I sail in it quite often. Does anyone ever play the Happy Times single mission in an II Boat? I do, and I've won it many times. It's a fun mission to play in. I love the II Boat, and I too have a story to tell. I remember I was in 1943 in my IID and i was sent to patrol some area a little bit to the east of england (this happened so long ago I cannot remember everything that happened!), but then I was ambushed by a Flower Corvette and some destroyer. They killed my compressor and one side's engine. I limped away somehow, and surfaced and ended the patrol. Sadly, I missed the snorkel too much so i had to switch to VIIB, then I finished my 39-45 career successfully, most of my kills being in my IIA and IID. ^^ Anyway, i sure love this boat. Greatest sub I've ever seen IMO. Nothing can change my opinion on this sub of greatness.

Sailor Steve · 01-01-12, 12:42 AM

Interesting story.

WELCOME ABOARD!

Joalphski · 01-01-12, 01:53 PM

Oh hi there. I'm glad to be aboard. Is anyone still a member of this club? I'd be real interested in meeting some members and hearing their stories on this sub. I've already seen a couple that looked real interesting. The Type II is a great pleasure to sail in, and strangley, it seems to totally complete me like all these other things like the T-26 Light Tank, FT-17 Light Tank, I-15 Chaika, and Minesweepers. What's in common within all of those? They're all small, and mostly insignificant things that nobody really likes/wants to like. I'm an "against the trend goer."

Sailor Steve · 01-01-12, 01:57 PM

I still play in a Type II. And a Type VII. And a Type IX. Multiple careers, you see. Of course it helps that every time some cool new mod comes along I trash everything and start over. Almost seven years playing now, and still never made it past mid-1940.

Joalphski · 01-01-12, 02:18 PM

Ha ha, that's funny. I've done several careers now, but the only thing that I do wrong is I use 16% realism. Yep, I just play for the fun of it. I use multiple boats too, but I prefer II boats most out of all of them. Usually the balance tips between IIA and IID, but I'm not sure which I like more. I'm thinking of doing a full realism career one day in an IIA or IID (I switch between the two at free will). I'm glad that I'm not the only one in the world who just wants to get rid of their II Boat. By the way, my favorite number is 6 because of the IIA U-6. I don't even know why, but I like that number a lot.

I'm just different like that. I always have liked smaller things. It's kind of like light tanks if you know what I mean. And when in doubt, YIIIIIIIIAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUHHH!!!!!!!!!! Also, I fight for my friends!
