Guys, I've encountered the U Class Submarine for the first time when my first patrol in Norway. I fired the first torpedo, it missed and this sub dove. Then, he went straight at me.




(ignore the mouse pointer )

I fired the second torpedo, based on my guesswork and followed the torpedo. At the right moment, It went straight to the conning tower (Not bad for guessing!) and it exploded!





However, It's still alive and running with the wrecked conning tower!

MY FACE WHEN:

Not unrealistic!


"Ali" Cremer survived a huge damage of U-333´s conning tower

And check the story of U-566. When the commander of U-566 surfaced in the darkness to assess the damage, he saw more closely resembled a pile of wreckage than his boat´s conning tower. The allied ship had almost flattened the bridge superstructure.


Or U-46



etc.

Good shooting...the pressure hull is separate from the CT so it was easily possible for the U-class to survive.

Well... That's not the worst thing.

After I gave up and left the area where the U-Class was, I went to patrol the Navik area. One of my watchmen spotted a submarine and however, that submarine is the same U-Class submarine that I blew the conning tower off. This monster has regenerated its conning tower like new!

I'm scared.

Since its second group U class modelled there was only 12 ever built
Shame the devs didnt model the 3rd group / V class instead, there was about 30 of those produced and just about all of them served in the Med out of the Malta and Alexandra sub bases. Since their small size made them inadequette for ATO and PTO operations.
Think the S-class was the most mass produced WW2 Royal Navy sub.
(very similar to the Type 7)
