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.

Hi! I like this boats ,they have comfort and have good ability even in hard condition,but XXI is good enough

The Gato!

wait, did I say that out loud?....

but seriously, IXb is the most effective IMO most bang for your buck, and available when it's still useful....

The USA - probably Balbo (spelling?) since it is the biggest one out of all and carry the most supplies and the most sophisicated systems on board. Agility is out of the questions since the Japanese defense is dead weak. Once I torpedo all the destroyers (which is not the chief function of the sub, through, but I have 10 torpedoes loaded to spare) I can virtually attack any ship within the convoy without any risk of retaliation

The Germans - Type IID or XXI. XXI is due to its superior arm and stealth techology incoperated. Type IID for its small size and agility.

Umfuld; that's a good one. :rotfl:

I like the 7b, but by the end of '43 the 7/41 is nice.

The XXI is a real blast to play ingame, a shame they never got them made properly to see their real potential. The VIIC with its upgrades is hard to beat as a real choice with all the options and its agility. Too bad they couldn't have put the torpedo loading system from the XXI's into any of the other types of boats, being able to reload all 6 tubes in 5 minutes I'd trade for anyday for a VIIC/41 or even 42 as an upgrade to my U-552 :p

as stated before it depends on what one wants..

you want range and firepower... you have to trade in agility and stealth - IXC (or D2... still trying out those)
you want speed (dived) - more stealth and agility ... of yourse you do sacrifice one tube and a load of torpedos - VIIC (the workhorse of the U-Boot-Waffe!!!!! and rated the best U-Boat of all time!!! no other class of U-boats was as succesfull as the Type VIIC)

my taste.... right now I prefer the IX with more firepower... though the AI gets really nasty now in '43... I would like to have a VIIC/41 but GWX gives me this not before mid '44

well it is all about taste
