Entire Hull is indeed a type IX (and the cfg file says that if it were playable, the interior would be as well) the distinguishing mark that makes it Japanese for me, is at the forward base of the conning tower. Maybe not an actual and fully modded version of a Jap sub, but a Jap sub none the less.

I'll take it. The point of the thread was that they are out there and sinkable. I also noted that the sub was at battle stations when I first detected it. I wonder if it would have attacked had it detected me, before I detected it. That would have been an unpleasant ending to the patrol.

((OOC: Attacked with the Deck Gun maybe, It can't really submerge or attack with torpedoes due to engine limitations))

I'm glad you did spot her before, fellow skipper

There might be better strategic targets, like Carriers or Battleships, but there's really nothing like winning against your opposites in the other side (Even though I heard USN skippers held a lot of respect to their Axis counterparts, atleast the Germans)
