well...

my 2 cents on the baot is its got 23 torpedo capacity.
the walter drive lets u go 20 knots under water
and i went to 920 meters in a straight dive. dont know if the walter drive is noisy as i did it in the middle of no where

kinda bummed for the lack deckgun and rear tubes

Flank speed is around 28 knots.

and i went to 920 meters in a straight dive.

Meters or feet? 920 meters is 3,019 feet. I doubt this is the case. 920 feet (~300m) I believe.

Did more tests after my initial post. The thing is very noisy. However, you can run fast enough to prevent destroyers from doing much to capitalize on it. Top it off with a well placed BOLD3 and the destroyers run around like the Keystone Kops.

The speed and maneuverability make up for the lack of stern tubes. Considering that the U-Boat missions are Late War, the deck gun is next to worthless anyway as almost everything is escorted and/or the weather is too foul to use the thing.

Personally, given this is a sim, i think the best boat is the one that saw actual use, combat, and has ever fired a torpedo in anger.
