Icon1 7B vs 7C

Hi to all

This is my first post. English is not my language so excuse me for any grammar typos.

What type of sub do you prefer? I am playing vanilla version of SHIII.

I do use the B type as i am reluctant to sacrifice the speed as well the submerged distance capabilities that offers over the C type

I am on my 1st campaign mid 41's just the time that things are going to get nasty.

Oh and another thing. What the the protective rubber coat really offer in the game ? I know that historically made the Uboats undetected by sonar but is that so in SHIII as well ?

I'd stick with the B just because the bow-mounted net-cutter looks cool.

The rubber coating begins to develop at the end of the war and as far as I've read and seen documentaries on a limited number of boats

But it does not help against the minefields laid in such a way that the convoy can pass over them, but for submarine impossible, as is the case with U 480


I currently play in 1944 ,with VIIc/41 model !

I would take VIIC from those two (in case I would not have IXB already)
