Throughout the war, most u-boats had 4-6 forward torpedo tubes and 1 aft. Torpedoes were compressed gas or electric motor powered, and initially unguided. Later, it became common to see FaT or LuT pattern-running torps, which started a ladder course after missing their targets. WWII also saw the beginning of acoustic homing torpedoes, which were not very widespread or effective.
FlaK and deck guns were variable. Many u-boats had at least one small artillery piece for sinking unarmed ships not worth a torpedo. Light machine guns were usually placed on the back of the conning tower for shooting down planes when diving was not possible. These were replaced with far heavier guns by the end of the war. Deck guns were considered unnecessary, too.
The only unique subs worth noting were unarmed supply subs, and the super-advanced Type XXI Elektroboote, a subject all in itself.
