thanks for all the responses. the majority here seem to agree that vii is just a better boat and yes i do keep my viic uflak in 10th flotilla. while the guns are great on this boat and no aircraft managed to sink me so far, i have a major issue:
i completed my first patrol from penang heading to Arabian sea and the swimming up to the Oman sea close to strait of hormuz. thats where i picked up a small convoy of 4 large tankers unescorted!! i dispensed all my torpedos to sink them and then headed home. on the way home i ran into a similar convoy but i could not do much without torpedos.
this is why im considering an ixc40; firepower. but i should also mention that i met lots of lancaster bombers in that patrol. i really like to see 1945 as i have never survived past '43 let alone with 170k tons.
