Never try the IID, maybe I should.

Overall, I like VIIB for agility.
The Type XXI only ever made two patrols and never sunk anything IIRC :hmm:

Your right but thats a boat u can call "the summary of German U-Boat experience in WWII" all the later Boats (after the war) where based on this Boat.
Yes it is the best Boat in Game and it was the Boat with the greatest potential in WWII. I think that is a big "what if" question if the XXI where able to proof himself if there where more out on war patrols.

It would have probably taken at least another 18 month or more because they were hindered by manufacturing and production problems, not to mention shortages in vital materials such as the high quality steel needed for the pressure hulls.
