Imagine if this could be turned and fired to the broadside! How many roll overs would it make?

Okay now that's just scary. I wonder how much of the performance would be retained on an operational boat as compared to the specs though. At first glance I'd guess it'd actually handle like a pig on ice. :hmm:

Let's get the type XI modded into the game... We could start a whole series of Superweapon mods that might fit into the Naval arena and work in the game...

Any takers??

Gibs has erm..*cough* a U-Cruiser it's a type IX with 5 105mm DG's

So in theory these X-craft could be possible.
With regards to the XI

The projected specifications of the Type XI U-Cruiser were:
Length (oa):115 meters
Width: 9.5 meters
Draught: 6.2 meters
Displacement: 3 630 tons.
Propulsion: 2-shaft diesel/electric motors,(eight 12cyl. diesel engines in two separate engine rooms plus two electric motors in a seperate compartment).

Armament: 4 bow TT.
2 stern TT.
4 X 12.7cm cannon in two twin armored turrets.
2 X 3.7cm AA cannon.
2 X 2 cm AA mounted in Wintergarten.
1 X Arado reconnaissance seaplane.
Crew: 110 men, plus capacity to carry approximately 60 Brandenburgers.

Don't you mean Type XI (11, as opposed to 9? The Type IX was the ocean-going boat. Type IXB, IXC, IXD2, etc...)?
