Silent Hunter 3 All Submarines [top]

The Type IX is a different beast . It takes over 45 seconds to dive to periscope depth—an eternity when an aircraft appears. Its large above-water profile makes it visible from farther away. However, with 22 torpedoes, you can sink an entire convoy and still have fish left for stragglers.
