Yes, very true. But the crew in the II's and VII's become way more experienced due to the experience-earning mechanism in SH3.

I definately think the IX is better in range, payload and therefor overall abillities. But what it so desperately needs is acceleration, turningspeed and divingspeed.

It then comes down to your personal playingstyle. If you are patient prowler, then the IX may well be your boat. But if you are a gung-ho convoy-raider with a semi-deathwish (like myself), than nothing beats a VII (n my humble opinion offcourse).
