PERFORMANCE SECTION GUIDELINES
1.  Write a brief intro paragraph of 1-3 sentences.
2.  Write 1-3 paragraphs of "meat".  Talk about what the ship does well, what it doesn't, how it compares to same tier ships of the same type, how it compares to the previous ship in the tech tree, whatever.  Try to avoid quoting vital statistics to players unless it is really relevant (i.e. concealment); they can see those in the sidebar on the right and don't need them read back. 
3.  Write a brief summary paragraph of 1-3 sentences highlighting the key takeaways from the paragraphs above.

<h4>Performance:</h4>


''{{#var:ship_name}}'' is the tech tree Tier VIII U-boat for the German submarine branch. She is well equipped in terms of offense, having access to homing and conventional torpedoes, and also has access to {{Reserve Battery Unit}}.

''{{#var:ship_name}}''’s survivability is low, with an HP pool of 15,400. Her armor is nonexistent, with her entire exterior hull covered in 19mm. Players should be careful not to be spotted on the surface for extended periods of time, as she will suffer heavy damage.

''{{#var:ship_name}}''’s maneuverability and concealment are very good at helping her survive in battle. Her turning circle and ruddershift are good, which aids in dodging depth charges. Her concealment, at 5.61km, is very good for her tier (outspotting almost every destroyer in her matchmaking spread).
<div style="border: 2px solid rgba(212,175,55,0.8); border-radius: 3px; margin-bottom: 1em; overflow: hidden;">
She has a good 29 knot top speed on the surface. However, her underwater speed is average for her tier, at 13.6 knots. Careful positioning is vital as her slow speed will not help her escape from bad situations.

''{{#var:ship_name}}''’s Dive Capacity recharge and depletion rate are standard for her tier, at 1 unit/sec each. Her Dive Capacity reserve is high, at 275 units, allowing her to stay underwater for more than 4 minutes. Her time underwater can be extended with the Reserve Battery Unit consumable which stops the depletion of Dive Capacity for the duration of the consumable.

''{{#var:ship_name}}''’s sonar is a helpful tool for dealing effective damage. While the velocity is slow at 500 m/s, the 12.5km of range, and fast reload time of 6.5s is enough to double ping reliably. The double ping lasts 55 seconds which allows ample time for homing torpedoes to arrive.

''{{#var:ship_name}}''’s homing torpedoes allow for long range torpedo attacks. The homing torpedoes have best in tier range at 12.5km. They deal a respectable 8.6k damage, travel fast at 77 knots, and have a 35% chance of flooding. While her homing torpedoes are good at long range, their fast speed and short arming distance allow them to be used at close ranges against small and agile targets, especially when shotgunning. Shotgunning is the act of closing distance to a target (around 3-2km) and launching torpedoes at it, often heavily damaging or destroying ships.

Conventional Torpedoes

| style="color:inherit;" | • Torpedo loaders (bow/stern) || style="color:inherit;" | 4/2
''{{#var:ship_name}}''’s conventional torpedoes deal 14,300 per torpedo at the cost of a lower range (7.5km) and slower speed (62 knots). With four bow tubes, a full salvo can cause heavy damage or outright kill ships with her torpedoes. The 2 aft tubes can be used to deliver a follow-up strike after passing under ships, although with half the alpha strike.
|-
Her torpedoes have a good reload of 50 seconds and all reload at once.

''{{#var:ship_name}}'' has a standard {{Damage Control Party}}, with three stock charges and a short 7 second duration time. Players should be careful not to quickly exhaust their limited charges or will rapidly lose HP to flood and fire damage.
|-
Her Hydrophone is useful for tracking the location of surface ships while underwater. It is standard for her tier, lasting 60 seconds, has a 330s preparation time, and 120s reload time.
| style="color:inherit;" | • Homing torpedo speed (kt) || style="color:inherit;" | 73
 
|-
''{{#var:ship_name}}'', as a German submarine, gets access to the {{Reserve Battery Unit}}. While the consumable is active, dive capacity does not deplete while underwater. There are 2 charges base, and they last 30s with a 90s reload time. This helps players stay underwater for longer periods of time when either stalking targets or escaping detection range.

<h4>Gameplay:</h4>
</div></div></div>
 
''{{#var:ship_name}}'' is a flexible submarine, as it can deal effective damage in any situation to any target. Players should use her speed and concealment to gain advantageous positions to either utilize her homing torpedoes from range or close distance to shotgun targets.
When pinging targets from range, it is important to utilize her ruddershift in order to dodge depth charges sent at the approximate locations of pings. Double pings will yield more hits, but exposes the submarine's approximate position from repeated pings. This playstyle can also yield less damage due to players using damage control on pings and dodging homing torpedoes.
 
When closing distances to shotgun targets, players should primarily approach battleships and cruisers. Once at around 6km, players should dive to periscope depth and further close distance. At around 3-2km, conventional torpedoes will arm and deal high damage to targets. Thus, players should quickly launch all torpedoes before proximity detection (2km) and dive quickly to avoid detection. Against maneuverable targets such as light cruisers and destroyers, homing torpedoes can be used as they have fast speed and lower arming distance. Players can also ping destroyers at close range as the homing shut off distance is short for destroyers (240m).
 
Against enemy submarines, her {{Submarine Surveillance}} consumable helps in spotting targets and her fast homing torpedoes can devastate unaware submarines.
 
''{{#var:ship_name}}'' is a universal submarine, as her playstyle can be adapted to any game situation. While her characteristics do not particularly stand out, she does not have many weaknesses that prevent her from being effective in any situation. Her biggest strengths are her low concealment and access to the Reserve Battery Unit consumable, which can aid in staying underwater to evade detection during shotgun attacks or when escaping detection range. The combination of her good maneuverability characteristics and low detection aids in the shotgunning playstyle. Players can find success in both long range homing torpedo attacks and shotgunning targets at close ranges.

U-190 — Germany Tech Tree Tier VIII Submarine.

The Type IX ocean submarines emerged as an evolution of the Type I and were developed for long-range raid destinations, including the Caribbean and as far as the U.S. coastline. The IXC/40 series of submarines became the largest in this class. The lead submarine, U-190, completed six patrols between 1942 and 1945 and sank two Allied ships. On May 19, 1945, the submarine surrendered to a Canadian frigate and was officially added to the Canadian Navy as a trophy.
