After my last mission a new sub was aviable, an IXC/40.

Is there any point to "upgrade" from an IXC sub to an IXC/40?

Only difference is little lower speed but little longer range for the IXC/40 sub.

And when i checked the submarine.cfg folder there was no folder that handle the IXC/40 sub, not even listed in the englishname.cfg file

So how should i treat this sub as? A normal IXC and are thos 2 sub sharing the same cfg file?

Yup. As implemented in SH3, the IXC/40 exists in name only. Its really just an IXC. No extra fuel or what not.

Yep IXC is a great boat. No need to change it, unless you need greater range (IXD2) or a superboat (XXI)

IXD2 yes I would agree with the XXI never used it and never will (in a career) it might have the speed, and 6 tubes but they are all forward and none in the rear and that I dislike in the boat.

XXI is a very good boat. It's a bit difficult in use as you have to adjust your tactics but if you learn how to use it you can exterminate whole convoys. Unfortunatelly it comes too late in the career mode:cry:
