I haven't tried this for the Type IXB, but it worked for my Type VIIB so it should work for this one too. Just make the changes to the following part of the file called "...SilentHunterIII\data\cfg\basic.cfg" for the Type IXB, since it is armed with the 10.5cm deck gun (you would change the corresponding section for the 8.8cm gun for the Type VIIs):

[AMMO_TYPE0];10.5cm SK C/32
Idx=0
Year=1939
Month=1
AP=40 [Change 40 to whatever]
HE=60 [Change 60 to whatever]
SS=20 [Change 20 to whatever]

With my type VII, I never increased the overall total number of shells but I did change the loadout as between SS, AP and HE a bit to suit my tastes (seems the captain ought to be able to have some authority over his loadout, but storage considerations would dictate against being able just to take tons of extra shells in total, if you want to stay somewhat realistic) - however, I think it will let you increase the overall total number of shells if you want (although according to u-boat.net, the standard loadout for deck guns on the Type IXBs was only 110, so at 120 the game already seems to be giving us a few extra shells to play with as it is - apparently the Type IXDs carried up to 150 rounds, and one boat (U-196) somehow managed to carry 240 rounds, so you can modify the numbers to suit your circumstances however you like).
