VIIC or IXC?
 

I just want to your opinion in this matter, a type VIIC u-boat or the type IXC u-boat.

I just wanted to know because right now I am having a dilemma on which to get.

Please answer the poll and tell me your opinion and reasons as to why you have picked this u-boat from the two.

From the depths...

IXC, in my view, wins in the long run, :yep:

VII, stealth is the number one priority for me and VII is smaller than IX. Type II does not have the range nor weaponry, so VIIC is a nice compromise.

I vote for VIIC ! :up:

- Better handling

- shorter diving times

- better for Konvoi-Attacks

For tooling around anywhere east of the GI-UK gap a VIIC is a more suvivable ride.

I'm really enjoying the juicy, under-defended caribbean tanker convoys at the moment, so my IXC is the right choice.

I guess it depends on what you want to do with your next boat.

I can't decide either.

I guess VIIC, because it turns and dives faster.

But the IXC can stay out longer.

hmmmmmmm...

Always been a VIIB/C guy. Just a great looking boat.

Can't beat that dive time and if you stop at milk cows or supply ships you can go almost anywhere.

Heard there is a mod now that corrects the 'giant' watch crew on type IXs. That always bugged me when I took out a IX. Will have to try it out.

I vote for the IXC
More torpedoes (though depends on weather to move the externals in)
Long range
And I like it better as a picture

Hard to choose but I'll go with the type IX. (b or c doesn't really make that much of a difference) I like the VII for it's manoeuvreability and faster diving.
But the IX has a lot more torpedoes. And you can sail her to the Caribbean! Those two combined offer the possibility of multiple-month patrols :D
And the IX looks good. (The VII too, but the IX just slightly better IMO)
So I'll vote type IX, but I love (and use) them both.

The IX U-Boats for me.

The IX's are hard hitters. I DO like how VII's handle underwater, though.

I voted for IX because I like it better :O:

I run a separate career from each available flotilla, so I use both, as well as the Type II which you just left right off. :cry:

IX every time....see the world and have a heavier punch when it comes to the fight.

Unless the Type XXIII is available of course.

VIIC for the maneuverability... Quick dive, in and out and spin on a dime... :03:
