    The Type II is not a hunter-killer. It is a minelayer and training boat. In SH3’s campaign, you start with a Type IIA based in Kiel or Wilhelmshaven.

    Pros:

    Cons:

    Best Career Path: Stay in Type II only for the first two (1939) patrols. Sink small merchies in the British coastal zone. Transfer to a Type VIIB as soon as Flotilla allows (mid-1940). Good hunting, Kaleun

    Modded Note: In GWX, the Type II becomes a pure masochist’s challenge. One destroyer depth charge run will crumple it like paper.
