But for the Rambo like brutality of tearing up a convoy its the IX all the way.

Fast dive times are not as useful in a well planned convoy attack. But the pop gun like versatility of the VII, plus the fact it is THE u-boot, makes it my preferred choice of weapon.
That however is mostly due to my playing style, I prefer sneaking into harbours, hugging coastlines and catching my targets idle, unaware or alone. The sheer terror of firing off a massive blast of ordnance and then swiveling port/starboard as depth charges rain on you for three hours is not my cup of tea.

Good post!
