Type 21 in Silent Hunter V

Whilst not impossible I would say its highly unlikely, certainly for the near future on both counts.

Consider the time and effort to research, build, skin, light, populate and animate the interior of a type 21 sub to a similar level of detail even if you had all the tools.

Could a development team work with modders to build one? ask Mr.Urfisch...

It is not a matter of making a new sub or interior. We have the exterior and interior from the previous games. It is just a matter of figuring out how exactly to import them into the game.

I just tried to import the type IX into the game, but it is way too much work for one person, and no one really seems interested in helping. So, I am dropping my work on it.

Yes, I think it is possible. Going to take a lot of work, and we may not be able to iron out every bug. But, with patience(a lot of patience) I think we will see all subs in the game.

Personally I think a more significant sub would be the ducks. The XX1 didn't do much at all, and that far too late in the war.

But the ducks have been doing their thing since the start of the war, on the other hand, and offer a different style of play.

Mind you, this is probably an age-old debate.

I played SH3 with GWX and some other mods, and later in the war I was very lucky to sail with a XXI type sub, and I can assure you that it wasn't so funny to be in no mather what type of sub in that time of the war. They simply (the allieds) blew you every time out of the water.
Mostly with DC's, and otherwise with those f.....g Hedgehogs. And not one escort, but numerous. It's not so funny to attack a convoy with 18 escorts! Even with the quick speed of the sub and the quick torpedo loading time.
That's surely one of the reasons Germany lost the war.
Too little, too less and too late!
