It's a good thing we didn't have only VIIB and VIIC boats to choose from, or there would be endless threads debating the merits of the two.

No question, IX adds more variety to the game. It's a long war, and that variety helps. I prefer VII for convoys though - faster to get deep once the escorts are on you.

I've only been playing a few months, so if Ducimus says that long term survival is more likely in the IX than a VII I'll take his word for it. Personally, I've been croaked a lot more in the IX than in the VII, but that's probably my overall lack of expertise showing.
