Okay, I personally like the VII's and the IX's but I have a question out there for all of you diehard XXI'ers (C'mon, you know who you are).

Awhile back, I seem to recall somebody in a FAQ or Daily Question asking about "CREEP MOTORS" on a Type XXI. Now, it was something to that effect and the Dev Team answered that these "CREEP MOTORS" would be modeled since the real Type XXI had them. I pose the question to you...WHAT ARE THESE MAGIC CREEP MOTORS? Are they some kind of special electric engine that was very quiet for silent runs? Anybody know?

Secondly, I also seem to remember reading about attack techniques of the Type XXI. I read that the sub's echo sonar was so advanced that the XXI could plot a solution on a surface ship from a depth of 150 meters and fire torpedos from such a depth, conviently positioned for the escape. Now, I wonder, is this possible to do in SH3, as I can't seem to open muzzle doors below periscope depth...Again, I am no XXI expert, but I need to learn as my campaign war is getting near the end....

The XXI had an additional, quiter electrical engine that could be used up to a total speed of six knots.

(DSK_hawkes): My question: Are you going to implement the Silent Drive E- Machine on The XXI with 6 kn speed???
(Devteam): The Creep motors on type XXI U-boats will be included in the game. We couldn't leave them out as operational procedures on this type depended on them.

That sounds correct as well as being able to acquire a solution and fire Torpedo's down to 50M depth not 150M.
