Welcome to subsim!
I love my VIIB, this is a great boat and great crew, newer took serious damage from depth charges, always brought us home safely and it's middle of 1941 now.
However I'm looking forward to upgrading to C in some time just to change it to C/41, also without a deckgun (maybe it will be gone from my B with the next patrol). I play as realistic as possible, sometimes I have no time to dive, just need to defend myself (like I don't dive or move, only calm sea during external reloads - so I barely do this). Also the historical fact of improvements and reliability in C model. Just this. In other case I would stick to my beloved VIIB!
PS Can't remember but when I was commanding a VIIC it was diving about 300m? My VIIB starts to bend at more than 250m so I would say it's her limit...
PS2 How about superchargers? Were they historically used? 21kt, wind in your hair, sweet!
