Should I get the Type XXI

The feel of overpower makes me recless and attacking convoys recklessly late-war is a sure way to get sunk, excatly like JuanLiquid said! Then again this is in no way XXI's fault

I don't have that last problem, I did have it in other games. (Mount and Blade - I would get overconfident and recklessly die immediately in battles, so before very battle I would swear to myself even if the odds were massively in my favor - it worked a charm)

My one problem with the XXI technically is the depth keeping in rough seas, if you set it to periscope depth in 15m/s wind, you will unintentionally surface, and half the time the periscope at full extension will be submerged. I shot my planes-man with a luger after surfacing momentarily in the middle of a hunter-killer group I had gotten into by sneaking in, their sonar is terrible in heavy seas. My recommendation is to set depth to 24m if you want to be able to look through the periscope soon, but not right now.
