This is the only boat I've played so far. I love her. She reminds me of a Type II and a Type VII put together.

The lines have that distinct classic 1930's influence, as if the designer was listening to a Buck Rogers radio broadcast as he drew her or watched on of those early sci-fi shorts. The lines definitely resemble some of the sci-fi spaceships of the time.

Capability wise she's not to far off from a German VIIA-B. Granted she can't touch the VII in a dive (None of the US subs can. Pretty sure we've discussed the different pressure hull designs here before). She holds about as many fish as a VII, minus stern tubes, and unlike the II she can engage surface targets. And although she can't defend herself against air attacks (early war) have a SD Radar stack seems to be enough so far. Your AA should be a last resort anyways. I recall the VII doing about the same speed wise as well.

I can't wait for this skin to come out. It's beautiful already.

To me at least, it looks like the old USS Holland. Of course, they were built in the same era of submarine technology.
