Off the top of my head, the primary difference between a 9b and 9c is the 9c has more fuel and 1 extra torpedo.

The 9b has one thing going for it. You can acutally mount heavy flak on it with the IX/1 tower and have it work. The diving time is *supposed* to be fast by 1 or 2 seconds but unless you mod that i dont think its represented.

The main reason i typicaly don't use an IXB is because of the fuel. An IXB should have a diesal range of 12,000 KM @ 10kts. The IXC of 13,350 @ 10 kts. My personal favorite is acutally the IXC/40, (top speed of 19 kts vs the IXC's 18.3, and 13,850 KM at 10 kts range vs 13,350 km at 10 kts. ) , but again unless you mod this, its not represented.
