I certainly prefer the larger IX boats, mainly the IXD2. My main hunting ground is the US East coast down to the Gulf of Mexico.

The IXD2 is a very large boat but It moves along the surface so gracefully in stomy conditions and is much more steady at periscope depth during storms.

The downside, if there is one, is that it is a very large target for aircraft and convoy attacks, can be lengthy with mulitple approaches to avoid detection.

I did recently try a VIIC again (this was my first/only choice of boat before IX's) and I just can't go back to them.
