8kts is the prime speed for the IXB, anything lower or higher is a waste... especially lower... i can get about 40k klicks out of her at 8kts, thats far enough to go to the panama canal and have a joy ride on the western seaboard and back, ( rough estimate as i dont have exact figures off the top of my head)

 Im a one U-boat wolfpack. Ive hit the bottom of the Mediterranian at 250 metres in my VIIC and brought that babe back up, and still made it back to La Spezia. Ive sunk more destroyers than I have merchants...youll wish you never sailed into U-87s hunting grounds. When you pull into port, dont lull yourself into a false sense of security, your mines and subnets are just a petty challenge for my crew and I.
