I also use the VIIC for the first year and a half, until I can get a IXC. The IX is the workhorse, because I like shooting down planes with it (and you can’t shoot them down as easy with the VIIC because of the smaller conning tower for the heavy flak). But the XXI was supposed to be the big prize: I bust my balls shooting down planes and sinking ships like there’s no tomorrow (increasing recognition points) so that I can buy the XXI (I set it at 100000 points, so it’s a real challenge) and those nice expensive Zaunkönig II torpedoes. I changed the flotilla.cfg so that there are more available, but now they cost 2000 points apiece, so I have to make those shots count, and get loads of recognition before I get the XXI. I enjoy the XXI because it’s more about stealth (Gibraltar, here I come!) and more careful planning (I love the satisfaction of manual targeting). With the IX it’s more visceral, in-your-face playing. Everyone has their style of playing, and you could say that each one has a sub that he feels more comfortable with. In a word, SH3RULES!
