Well, I've made it about half way through a patrol in a new IXB, and I'm just not feeling it.
The boat just feels too "big" to me, and of course the longer range means more travel time, and the later on in the war I get the more radio signals I get and hitting TC+ every 5 seconds because you just got
another radio message is grating my nerves.
Think I'll switch back to the VIIB/C after this patrol...
