I have a type IXB currently, can't imagine going back to the VIIB. Of course, it's still early war for me, but I'm finding each patrol to be a lot more productive. I always had fuel issues in the VIIB - that was more of an issue for me than fish shortages. By the time I got from Wilhelmshaven to AM52 and then BF13, I was already starting to sweat about fuel. I got a patrol down by Spain in late 1939 and I took the Channel as a short cut to save fuel - and damn near got everyone croaked. Never again.
With the IX, if I've got to flog her at flank to make an intercept point at night in heavy seas I just do it. Maybe I'll change my mind as the war progresses and I start getting pinged a lot more.
For you IX folks, do you recommend I skip the IXC and save up the renown for the D2? Or is the IXC a better choice?
