Well I recently started a new '39 campaign in the 1st Flot. in a IIA, U-16 (actually a IIB in RL) and it's the first time I've used one since I started the stock game before GWX. As far as I can remember, the GWX experience is better than stock and I'm averaging about 18000GRT per patrol after 5 patrols. I do have to watch my fuel but I'm able to stay out on the East coast of the UK for 10 days or so as long as I stay submerged and only surface to recharge. I do like to station my boat just off the Firth of Forth as there is quite a lot of traffic in that little nook, but I avoid warships like the plague due to the shallow depths.

In short, get GWX regardless, but start out with a type VII until you get your skills honed and come back to the canoe when you want a challenge.
