Type IXB in 1939
 

I noticed I can start in oktober 1939 (note: only VII's in september, adjust with SH3Commander to oktober) in a IX out of Wilhelmshaven... :cool:

Not that I sank anything on my first patrol though. Got beaten up badly by 4 DD's and had to hurry back with my tail between my legs. Close callus maximus.

Patrol 2 comin' up. AM51 :)

The VII's are quick and swift, however, ever since I first got the game, and even with GWX, the IX feels more and more like my boat.

It is I guess :)

IX is a very good boat. It's a bit big and dives slower than VII but it carries a lot more torpedoes and has a huge range. I always chose it as it gives me the oportunity to reach far away theaters of operations.

yea the IXB is pretty good
you can leave from kiell and go all the way to new york and back again (speed 8-9 knots) with enough fuel for 2000-3000 km still
and loads of eels:arrgh!:

Sounds like someones joining t "IXoholics anonymous" :rotfl:

I like to start with a II. It makes me feel like I'm really progressing when I get upgraded to a bigger boat :rock:

GET A CRASH CART STAT....WE GOT ANOTHER IX JUNKIE. HURRY NOW HE IS SUBMERGING AND WE MIGHT LOOSE HIM:o

I was a 7 driver for a while, tried the IX and never returned! She be a fat pig but she is my fat pig and full of torps:up:

IX...the prefered killing machine...see a dealer near you!

and if you order now you get a full load of electric or steam/gas torps

:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

My last career went to the bottom, not much hunting it was like a barren sea out there. Now back with my new IXB boat and coming across plenty of targets, had a run in with destroyers banged up my boat three times and one of those was real bad but I am still here. :up:

IX is a very good boat

is only a bit larger than VII but load 22 torpedoes and a big 37 cm flakgun,
with supercharger runs at 20 knts.
great for happy times convoy attacks.:up:

I always used IX boats since aces of the deep .

sorry but i coul´t resist the temptation of put a screenshot of my favourite boat :oops:

Makes you feel...um..different!:rotfl:

Officer's Icons
 

Hay Hartman Where did you get the officer's icons?

That's the best looking sea cow!! :rotfl:

When still in stock SHIII, I did 3 patrols in a IXB --Loved it!

Then started my GWX life from scratch. One patrol in a II canoe. Now in a VIIB, hoarding renown for a IX sumbie. 2-3 more patrols and should have a IX by mid-year 1941. :smug: If I live that long. Got the bazonks pounded out of me after a convoy attack. It's a lot more difficult to acquire tonnage on GWX :rock:

it is a unreleased mod , the icons are the same of crew qualifications . and resized.
