Submarine differencies

[Marko]

Hi there,

In GWX, is there any difference between the type VIIc and Type VIIc/41?

Tnx

The VIIC/41 has a thicker pressure hull so its test and crush depth are deeper. Although the added weight of the VIIC\41's pressure hull should slow it down its actually lighter to the VIIC due to the use of new lighter engines.

So its essentially the same Uboat but can go deeper before you go boom.

so it is worth to spend 3K renowns for it.

Well its the best type VII you can get. It can go 50+ meter's deeper than the VIIC. So if your getting pumelled by depth charges allot I would say Go for it!

I thought the Type VIIC/42 was the best you can get of the VII series in GWX. I'm still not at the point of getting one, so I'm just double-checking.

The '41 was the best offered in GWX.
There may be a mod for the '42 but I don't know.

So GWX removed the Type VIIC/42 that is mentioned in the SH3 Official manual? Interesting.

Maybe because the Type 7c/42 never existed beyond blueprint? Acutally, i take that back, i think a keel or two may have been laid, but were subsequently scraped when the type 21 electro boat came about. None the less, the type 7c/42 never existed.

If it existed in stock Sh3, it was just an equipment variation of the existing type 7c data files. Which means any type 7c/42 would have shared the exact same performance characteristics of all other type 7c's, and ingame would not have the much touted diving depth due to it's sharing of resources with other boat types in the game files.

Yes, I know all about this, but it is in the manual, and as I have not played around in late 44 yet, I was curious if it was present or not. Thanks though.

GWX tends to bend history slightly on various points in the interest of enjoyment. (Which I'm fine with.) It's a bit disappointing that stock SH3 didn't have it at least for use in a fantasy mission. It would have been fun as a diversion. Thank you for answering my question Privateer.

Well , it is present. After i bought the type 7c/41 and some new upgrades it passed sometimes and going back to the boat screen the type 7c/42 it is there and if u like to play with it you can.

The previous campaign i played with the type IX, i died at the end of '43 off the americans coast. I started this one on '40 in St Nazaire and i wanna see if i can reach the electro boat. but i don't know if i will. The last patrol has proven too be difficoult with only one lonely ship sank, pleanty of planes in the few days of shiny sun and a very bad weather for most of the time.
