XXI is only short submarine not small, please look on weight XXI, IX, Gato/balao A-type, R-Type..., you foud that are rather same size of subs, bouth ingame and in RL.

To balance they booste KM T3 SS torpedos, hmm why dont do mathing with UK and IJN for M-type and Kai-kou.

This is my test of game verison km ss5,5 on km forum which nead to be about KM SS and you bring here your view of history

Whean you asked i will say IX is long range boat for attacking far away from home german workhorse is VIIC uboat check hes size or VIIB
XXI and IX are same size but XXI is 1st submarine other are all underwater boats useing dive just to hide with XXI 2xspeed underwater  comperd to VIIC/IX.XXI could go underwater 2/3day depend on speed which can recharge in lesss than 5h with snorkel
and in game VIIC is bigger than XXI so in game size suck not only in SS but in all class
FF,DD,CL,CA,BB,SS = no real

i will just say lol get away from this forum lol

Whean you say it i couldnt resist to answer you

Why than all top 10s in german hands????? idk but i think on top lists top50 in every class is sure in german hands,whean you type me allied top 10 than i will say which place they hold loolololol

Bye troll

 

First learn to write, Second the UK only won the war beacause of USA don't forgetn this.
Something importan that you forgot is the ENIGMA machine, this was the reason of many german operations  fail. As you said or i undertand about propagand, it was no only for german, british use it too. 

For most you type i will just loooool



About NF KM ss6 , In my opinion is best ss6 so we agree in that one 

 

Which sub is that i bet that had so much horsepower that can be heard from japan to europe lol 

 

Its clear that you know very little about ww2.Beter check names and you will see that was not all easy kills. Allied army was untrained in general comperd to germans bcs allies spent many less time on practice most was suecide missons allyed leaders didnt care much
I can type many examples but i will post here one ,other you can check by yourself

In April 1945, Karl Körner was a platoon commander in the 2nd Company, 503 SS Heavy Panzer Battalionacting in support of an infantry attack in the area of Bollersdorf to the east of Berlin, during the attack he located two JS II tanks. He destroyed the first and the second drove into a tank ditch when reversing to get into a firing position and was then abandoned by the crew. Advancing further along the road from Bollersdorf toStrausberg he observed a Russian tank brigade consisting of another eleven JS II tanks and around 120 to 150T-34/85's being refueled and rearmed. He opened fire with his King Tiger and destroyed the JS II tanks and attacked the T-34's with the other 2 King Tigers of his platoon which arrived later. Some of the fuel and ammunition trucks caught in the attack exploded causing panic amongst the tank crews. After Körner had expended all the Tiger's ammunition supply (39 rounds for 39 tanks destroyed) he withdrew back to the German Lines.

In the following days, the 503 SS Heavy Panzer Battalion was forced back into the defense of Berlin. In the withdrawal, Körner destroyed 102 Russian tanks and 26 anti tank guns, for which he was awarded the Knight's Cross in the Führerbunker on the 29 April 1945. After the award ceremony he returned to what was left of his Battalion fighting in the Charlottenburg area.

Karl Körner survived the war and died on 8 August 1997 in Neu-Eichenberg.

   And for sub drivers you got to be kidding.  Even with a smaller ocean, more ships, much better torpedos, and 50% more time, the German sub drivers were never able to stop shipping into England.  By the end of WW2, the American sub drivers had accounted for 50% of the IJN warship kills, had for all practical purposes isolated the Japanese islands, even from shipping across the narrow, shallow Sea of Japan, and had peformed countless other tasks over a much larger ocean.  In addition a U-Boat was captured at sea -- it didn't surrender, the crew thought they had scuttled it, but the US Navy saved it.

The problem of outnumbrede was i little more dificult, first from begin of design of Tiger and Panther tanks it was clear that tanks will be expensive and take long time to manufacture. That mean from begining this types of tak will be outnumbered. And allies used same tactic (in basic) as a Germany or Wermacht at the beginig of war. They use medium size of tank (abaut 30t at the end of war due to intronduce Panther the next generation of allied tan hve weight abaut 40t) (not mean nessery Meadium tank) and use combine force to couter  Germany heavier tanks. Also all alied main tanks (not ment MBT) has beeter mobility and much less need of alternative transport (ie. German tanks most travel on train not on track).

You use wiki citation of battle at Kurs bulge but I thing in wiki is some error in sovet numbers, especially i inmbers of soviet AFV and lost (by wiki they lost abaut 30% of all AFV produced in year but Germany lose only 1000 AFV). That basic numbers is abaut 3000 germany AFV and abaut 3600 AFV, and loses abaut 2500 to 3000 on bouth sides.

In another battle of bulge (in Ardens) the Shermans was able to travel abaut 300km and after that move thy start to fight (Transfer of 3rd Patton army). None of New wermacht tank have this abilyty.

So to the German tanks was expensive and dificult to build and also have better arment and protection but they were too much complicate to be buid in enought number to be compettion to allied forces or they was not enought better to defeat allien in numbers that the was build.

In very siplification Panter was 2times better tnen T34 or Sherman or Crommev but it take abaut 5-10 times longer to produce.

WWII was the war thet was fight primary in factories then on battlefield.

I mean on number of soldiers not equipment
Its logic if you are small country against bigest countrys in world to produce qualty tanks, if they mass prodcue cheap tanks will not pay tham off becouse will not have soldiers to use it and gas to move tham . Germany was bombed very havey and all oil facilites was major targets. Allyed bombers many time go to bomb from which just few return just to stop germany war machine (Oil) No oil no war
