Good morning, Kaluens!! I had almost the same questions myself, except that I started out with the first flotilla and was given command of a type II, U-11. We've done well so far, but it's coming close to the time when I will be upgrading boats... and I had exactly the same thought. VII or IX? I'm going for longevity and survivability... and so while a VII is more manueverable and faster diving, it always seems to get patrol zones that are in the thick of all the action... which, I'm guessing, is probably not good for a Kaluen's health once 1943 and 1944 rolls around. With a IX, you get more distant patrol areas, where you probably encounter more lone ships and have quieter patrols (on average). That's just my 2 cents... can anyone who has made it to 1943 or 44 verify this... since I never have!! :rotfl: :rotfl:
