U-69 — German Tier VI submarine.

The Type VII submarines became the most popular ships of their class in history—all in all, 703 of them were built. U-69, the lead boat of the VIIC series, conducted 10 combat patrols, participated in 7 Wolfpack operations, and sank 19 Allied ships. On February 17, 1943, the submarine was sunk by destroyer HMS Fame during the hunt for the ONS-165 convoy.

Player Opinion


Pros:

  • Torpedo tubes reload independent of each other.
  • Access to Reserve Battery Consumable, which negates dive capacity loss for some time.
  • Superior Submarine Surveillance consumable, sonar range and reload, and torpedo performance than Cachalot.
  • Better dive capacity and concealment than Cachalot.

Cons:

  • Only 1 aft torpedo.
  • Worse HP, sonar ping speed and duration than Cachalot.
  • Worse Hydrophone compared to Cachalot.
  • Significantly worse speed when underwater.
  • Short Damage Control Party When activated, instantly repairs fires, floods, and incapacitations, and prevents more for the duration. duration.
