All these months in, it's the first time I've faced this dilemma (I previously stopped playing for a bit, then managed to wipe my career when I returned....).

So - do you bother? Six patrols in and I'm offered the "upgrade", but looking at the game manual I can't see any actual benefit. The VIIC is slower than the VIIB both above and below water, it dives more slowly and has a shorter underwater range.

But that's what the book says. What about those who've sailed her? are there any practical benefits? 'Cos for the moment I'm inclined to save my reknown (I also understand I'd have to spend even more reknown re-equipping the new boat with upgrades I've already got fitted on the VIIB).

ps - this isn't one of those things where I've got to get this upgrade in order to later get the IXs and XXI, is it?
