I've earned enough renown to trade in my trusty U-47 type VIIB u-boat for a type VIIC boat.

Upon comparing the vital stats of the two variants, I noticed the only apparent differences listed was the VIIB is slightly faster both surfaced and submerged but the VIIC is three seconds faster in its dive time and somewhat larger in its displacement tonnage.

Is it really worth it to spend 3,000 Renown getting the VIIC? Can any of you more experienced Kaleuns clue me in on the advantages the VIIC may or may not have over the VIIB besides having a secondary flak gun?
