For some reason I qualify to purchase the IX, after only a few patrols in the VII.
I am quite comfortable with the VII, and it's handling. From what I've read here, the IX is a 'pig', that doesn't dive, or turn fast.
Are there qualities that offset these drawbacks?
For now I'll cruise in the VII, to save the 9000 renown it'll cost, but I am curious to take it for a spin
