So, the problem with the IXC is, that it doesn't have a loadout preset for 1939 (unlike VIIB, VIIC, IIA, IID and IXB).
What to do? Make one!
0. Back-up your file!!! (I didn't. I have like 6+ copies od the game folder all over the place, so I should be ok.)
1. Open basic.cfg
2. Locate
[SUBMARINE_AMMO7];IXC
Type=2
Version=1
ForeTubes=4
AftTubes=2
etc.
3. Copy the paragraph
Year0=1940
ForeTube00=2 ;T1
ForeTube01=2
ForeTube02=2
...
...
RadarCoatings_00=-1
Renown0=9000
And paste it again, so you have two of them now.
4. Change the first paragraph's first line to Year0=1939 and every next one to Year1=1940, Year2=1941, etc.
5. Bam! Your IXC now starts with IX/1 tower... Well, it doesn't have the heavy flak yet, it isn't available this early. But who fights planes anyway? (If you do, I can probably make that work too)
6. If it breaks your game - I warned you, you should have done a back-up.
PS: Sorry for my English, I am quite convinced the comma in the first sentence is wrong, but I can't tell why even if it meant my death...
