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  . |
Weaponry and range are the Type IX's greatest assets. Greater storage capacity and an improved deck gun helps your chances of topping that Aces scoreboard, and the large fuel capacity means you can patrol the North Sea and North Atlantic for a much longer time, or you can stir up trouble off the American and African coastlines. Plus, there is plenty of room for a choir.
Personally I have more experience with the Type VII, but the IX has been a fun boat as well. Takes a while to adjust to the Type IX's speed and dive times, though, especially coming from a VII.
