 |
|
| can we see more screenshots of the external and interieur ? also i would love to see a shot of the VIIC with only a single aa gun and the tower , i like it this way the best and i hope it will be modeld . i don,t need all those aa guns , i just want the early model of the VIIC with a single aa gun for emergencies . becuase i crash dive when i see something in the air anyway . |

| As i recall all german subs early in the war other then the type II had a forward deck gun. It wasnt untill later in the war that they were removed to help boost underwater speed slightly, and that captains never got the chance to use them any more. |

| no i don,t mean the deck gun . i mean the aa guns on the tower. the the type VIIC / 41 it had multiple aa guns and a deck gun while the VIIC only had a sinlge aa gun and a deck gun . |

Not strictly true. All surviving u-boats were progressively upgraded as the war progressed. There were several variations on the anti-aircraft theme, up to and including the Wintergarten heavy AA nest. However, I don't think there was any instance of u-boats having AA armament reduced as the war progressed...
What are your sources?
