Whatever that is, I'll take it. My stock IXC takes forever and a day to get deep---good thing I can evade early war escorts. Radar is going to be distinctly not fun in the very near future.

the type IX should be deployed in a way that it has its points:
- 200m under keel
- hunting in grounds with no or little air-cover
- preferably taking out lone merchants or
- attacking convoys from within (when after the release of all eels you can crash-dive at flank speed)

I was getting ready to start a thread on preferred IXC tactics, and this is a good start. Thanks!
