Probably not as I know many much more experienced captians than I love the IX.
So to you smart guys, what do you like about the IX besides the increased range?

I usually wait until later in the war to pick it up, but what's nice about it beyond the range is the extra eels you carry both inside and externally both front and back. You also have 2 tubes in the back which offers up more options for shooting out the aft other than that 1 torp to finish someone off that I usually use the VIIBs aft tube for.
