I understand what you mean.

But it isn't as horrible as you discribe it here. Its is definetly a different playstlye compared to previous KM subs. In fact the most important thing when fighting another sub is your break. Furthermore you get 63knot torpedos which is the fastes possible and 10% more range. I recommend to start shooting 1-2 torps really early to force the enemy sub into critdive and preventing him from rushing in your back. That beeing said if you are uncautios you really quickly rush beyond the enemy sub with those 34 knots and once he is in your back you are almost dead. Though when it is another KM ss6 it can be a epic neverending story.
maceg003 and I have been in a circle of death for over 6minutes! never managing to get in a great position to kill each other but killing engaging ASW ships. Was funny but sort of stupid.

Try to get a 4th or even 5th engineer. The extra OH time is really noticeable and dont give up on it. Some training will help since it needs a different playstlye. Though the final effectivity of the new subs can't be really measured yet. I see many ships engaging me head on and rarely see a ship trying to engage me from behind. 

So its a ok sub for now.

Though in a finall SS rebalance I support your wish for some sort of 2nd weapon even knowing SDE is lazy and really doesn't likes adding extra gun-slots to a ship. Even more i am afraid that the KM ss6 will become a biased ship, beeing a a ultra BB killer but barely usefull in a SS fight. I admitt its fun right now but i think vs anything else but subs its really a bit too powerfull. Vs other subs again its rather weak for beeing a ss6. If i could choose a extra weapon it would be 1 or 2 of those SS.Type II stern mine launcher.

Dude if you cry over KM SS5.5, what should UK SS5 player do? Kill themselves?


LOL. 

IJN ss4, 5 and 5.5 (or 6, whatever) never argued having no rear tube... but km ss player loses rear tube on ss5.5/6 they compalint to death rofl

Number of tubes on SS is NF are rare to have history fact , so adding tubes dont have sense will drop little realisam that we have,other nation ss also have thier problems maybe not with new ss but sure uk ss5 is total fail , also more tube is not an option in my eyes just 0,5x stronger torps and uk ss5 is fixed point is its many way how to balance sub to not change torp tube set up
If nf put more tubes will mean thats name XXI dont have ship design like XXI , so its beter to change name in KM SS5,5
Also NF make big mistake with one shoot torpedo tube to be normal tube on few new SS idk is RM torps nerfed for ss5,5 but from history RM SS5,5 used smallest torps to put so many tubes becouse was design just to attack merchant ships (if dmg same like on RM ss5 than that is one bad joke with 8f 6r torp tube OP!!!) 

With 7support spots you can have 5engine/4eng,1rep(still one more eng than km ss5) on board so OH time will be great
Crit dive time is joke to slow make it at least as it is on km ss5 , biger lvl ss should dive faster espeacly if they are small in real life like XXI
In my opinion its great that she dont have rear torps all those ss runers will be unable to use KM ss on no honer way, when non km ss run i can avoid torps but km torps cant be avoid so i see much more fun in game with so many trolls

We have big NF problem km have only 6tube but that was also not problem in real life for XXI . XXI had hydraulic reload and could fire faster torps than any of other nation SS mention to become ss6
If we dont look history KM ss6 will suck with only 6tube front and no rear tubes
XXI is mother of today submarines

5 things which can help to balance new ss6 and bring km ss6 competitive as it should be by historic facts

1.Speed (real XXI is 1st sub which was faster underwater than on surface i mean rocket fast)
2.Faster reload than other nation SS (XXI used hydraulic reload torps so will be also historic accurate like speed)
3.Max depth : its easy to see how XXI have adventage in that segment , my advice is to use historic max depth in NF more meters down sub will lose less DP in crit dive
4.Best turn force
5.Faster crit dive time
