IXB picking up convoys out of Canada.

CaptainNemo12 · 01-20-10, 10:09 PM

Type VII and nothing else.

Sgtmonkeynads · 01-20-10, 10:19 PM

Bdu says I get a Type VII. Who am I to question.

Onkel Neal · 01-20-10, 10:24 PM

Gimme a Type XXI, it'll outrun and outshoot anything on the ocean

Reece · 01-20-10, 10:39 PM

Hey no fair voting for the obvious!

Out of spite I voted for the VII!

THE_MASK · 01-20-10, 10:43 PM

Well , i guess VII is going to be my favourite

Turbografx · 01-20-10, 11:22 PM

Type II, 20 odd meters of single-hulled coziness.

Sailor Steve · 01-21-10, 12:25 AM

All of them. I'm not partial.

Of course I voted Type II, but that's just because I'm perverse.

Love the VIIC and the IXD pretty much equally. Horses for courses though.

VIIC for the Med and shorter Western Approaches patrols, IXD for the long range US Coast/Carribean/South Atlantic/Indian Ocean runs.

I'm not sure...

looney · 01-21-10, 09:41 AM

I can't decide neither, I usually have 2 or 3 careers simultaniously..
Type 2, type 7 and a type 9...

currently I got a great type 9 career goin. (op monsoon)

AAtaman · 01-21-10, 01:00 PM

Of corse Type IXC...It has more torpedoes and fuel isn't a big problem.It is better for submerged attacks.

kptn_kaiserhof · 01-21-10, 01:31 PM

AAtaman i agree with you

i like the ixd2 for the range and lots of fish

if a xxi type had a deck gun it would be my favorite

difool2 · 01-21-10, 02:59 PM

I'll hereby champion the 9 lurkers who also chose the XXI: I'm a big student of alternate history, and it is conceivable that Doenitz, if he had read the writing on the wall early enough, could have had something approximating the final design of the XXI by 1943 (i.e. a more or less true submarine and not a submersible). It gives you a reasonable shot at success at a time when other boats were obsolete deathtraps.
