I'm playing in the 2nd flotilla in '39, and am having some success (finally) in my VIIB. I'm beginning to think ahead, and whether I wanted to upgrade to a type IXB, or wait till the more advanced VIIs roll out. I realized I didn't really know what I wanted to do.

I thought I'd ask the veterans. What are your thoughts on the various boats, and their later versions. I'm wondering things like, aside from range, what are the advantages/disadvantages of the IXB vs the VIIB? Or the later IXs vs. the later VIIs? Do you usually stick with one type and get its upgrades as they become available? Or do you bounce around? How is the type IID in comparison with its crappy earlier brother? (I was thinking of maybe transferring to the Black Sea later to try it). What are your favorite/least favorite boats, and why?
