VIIB and upgrades

Gilbou · 03-18-10, 05:29 AM

Im using a type VIIB which I am very happy with (removed the deck gun from mine).

Will I be able to get the same upgrades as the VIIC except the conning tower and AA guns ?

I am not really interested in a bigger kintergarden. Nor the AA guns as I prefer to avoid fighting airplanes on surface.

The only upgrades I am interested in are the other ones : the coating of the sub, and so on...

Have no fear, you can get all the upgrades you desire (except flak - no big deal).

Cool

Love the VIIB.

Ja!
Although the IXB is my darling, I do like the VIIB.

I prefer my rowing boat personally

Guess which one I mean.
Seriously though,I like the IX's range but prefer the VIIs for all round performance and handling.

Gilbou :
Like you, I love the Type VIIB, yes it has it's limitations, but with it's menacing net cutter bow, and deck gun, it is the quint essential U-Boat.

No takers for the XXI or XXIII?

Oh sure, I'll take an XXI. I've had minimal experience in them, but they're big, they're fast and they're usually equipped with pleasant torpedoes. I'm sure I'll be needing one in very short order in late 1940.
