=Samukai's Sub Review: The Type II U Boat=

Flamme is well known for this disliking of subs. He generally says that subs are weak and useless and that BBs (With the exception of a few Soviet ones) are war better.

Now, IMO, he exaggerates when he says that all subs are useless, but there is one sub that I can't deny sucks really, really bad. Especially in Versus. It is the sub that this post is about. The Type II U Boat of Germany: The sub that even the IM is more useful when compare to it.

Basic Info (no, Rant)
The Type II U Boat is the second German sub in the tree as of now. It is Lv39 and can be unlocked after getting the Type I U Boat.

And I will say this now: IT SUCKS LIKE NO ANIMAL'S BUSINESS!!!

It is slow, it has few torpedoes, it is inferior to the sub that it is suppose to better than...ARRRGGGGHHH!

Alright, now let's do this the professional way. I will judge it by agility, firepower and overall usefulness.

Stats:
Speed: The worst thing about this sub. Fully loaded this pig will travel at 11.5 knots. I'm not kidding. 11.5 knots. Even the IM at 20 knots and Kawachi at 17 knots fully loaded are fast faster than the Type II. I don't know for sure, but the Type II is by far the slowest ship in this game. Good luck catching anything with this thing.

However

If you want to only do missions (and trust me, this is recommended), then load only a handful of torps. Then she can push herself to 19 knots. Fairly decent for grinding. And with the extra torps that Missions gives you, you will still cause some massive damage.

Score: 2/10 Fully Loaded, 7/10 Lightly Loaded

Turning: Pretty much the only good thing about this sub is that it can turn really well. Like, really well. Like turns like a DD well. Unfortunately, this doesn't compensate for the extremely retarded low speed fully loaded. AT. ALL!

However, I must give a good score of 9/10

Firepower: The really big stinker, though not as bad as the slow speed. This thing can't carry many torpedoes so you will have to be careful when firing. If you want to go at a decent speed, you would have to load something like 5-9 torps total. And that doesn't get a lot of kills. Luckily, the torps do have massive damage at over 7000, but the range is lacking at 250.

3/10 Fully Loaded, 6/10 Mission Light Loadout

Deck Gun: LOLWUT?! This thing doesn't have a deck gun in the first place. Not even AA guns. And that sucks when you surface and have to face up against a DD or other sub. Not that you will survive the battle much longer but at least you have something.

0/10

Final Impressions
A sub that is pretty much useless outside of Missions. If you can do good in this in Versus, you either are a god in NFL, you have hacked the game somehow or your enemy teams are the most retarded players in gaming history. In Missions lightly loaded, while not the best sub, she is decent and grinding the Second German Mission will help you quickly get to the next sub, which is infinitely better.

To best grind this trash, stick to the Type I as long as possible, even if the torps do squat damage, then farm the hell out of the Second German Mission. Doing this will cause you the least pain in grinding this.

Final Score: 3/10 Versus, 6.5/10 Mission Loadout

Final Comment: The Russian Mid BBs are way more versatile than this piece of junk
