Pros:
Faster surface speed
More torpedo load
Greater range allowing you to reach distant places. (some of which can be quite lucrative)
Uses:
The type 9 was designed primarly as a solitary hunter operating in remote waters. It is not a boat meant to use in wolfpack operations (IE, North atlantic). Its greatest assets are being able to reach distant waters and be able to operate there for a reasonable length of time.

ixB has only slight performance differences compared with VII boats.
itīs not very suitable for port raids but historically not was a very frequent operation.
