Most frequently-used U-boot Class by you?

I am curious as to what is the most commonly-used U-boot class by you, the Player?

What Class do you upgrade to the most? Or start a new game with? Or run with entirely throughout your most important save/campaign?

Also curious because i am involving myself with U-boot re-tex projects and would like to see if i am wasting my time with re-skinning U-boots that no-one uses.

This poll will hopefully give me an indication as to what classes are played the most and i can concentrate more on those for my re-tex missions.

Currently a thread exists on a VIIC-Class res-tex project here.

+1 Type VII until the end.

VII because I feel over powered with all those torpedoes in an IX boat.

VII, but when upgrade time comes round, I'm like a kid in a candy store

Best regards.

PS great news about the IX skins

I run a separate career out of each available flotilla simultaneously. At the start of the war this means I have a career in all three main types.

Hi,

Type IX - mostly IX B and IX D/2. Some month ago i started a similar poll in the german "MarineSims-Forum". Here you can see the results.

I start the war with a type VIIB.

Around June of 1941, I commission a type IXB or C and use it until mid-1943.

Then I drive a VIIC/41 from then on.

I never seem to survive long enough to get a XXI.

I like to think I get assigned to shore duties - flotilla commander, BdU staff, marineschule, etc.

My VIIC/41 has no deck gun or gun-qualified crew members (I need all the Repair quals I can pack in

). As soon as I leave port, I fire off 2 internal eels and strike down the two external reloads. By 1943, it was suicide to attempt to do that at sea and many boats went to sea without external reloads. This lets me simulate that condition. I pretend the external reload canisters are filled with canned food, clean sheets, and other necessities. I like to keep the 2nd toilet clear at all times; does great things for crew morale.

Start off in 2nd Flottila out of wilhelmshaven with a VII. As soon as i earn enough renown, I upgrade to a IX

Jimbuna · 06-30-13, 03:44 PM

IX all the way

Dbledip · 06-30-13, 07:08 PM

Stated with a VII and then moved to a IXB. I actually like them both.
