5. Good watch-crew is mandatory! Later in war Snorkel!
Excellent advice

I agree with that aswell  |
Excellent advice Myxale!! The schnorkel is a life-saver in 44 and 45, I'm sure!! I never made it that far, but hope to. So far I am ready to start my fourth patrol in U-11 and it is January 3, 1940. I survived through 1939!! YEEAAHH!!! LOL!
I am thinking that I will probably try a Type IX when the time to upgrade comes... my logic is that I have tried many DiD, historically accurate careers in a VII, and have always been sunk before late 1942. I figure I have nothing to lose by trying a IX. It may have a slower diving time and present a bigger profile for asdic when submerged, but the idea of more remote patrol zones, a few lone ships and smaller convoys is appealing. The only thing I am going to edit in the game is the renown cost for acoustic torpedoes... I am going to load up on them from mid-1943 on... and historically torpedoes didn't "cost" kaleuns anything... right? This way, even if I run across some destroyers or a hunter/killer group, I will at least have a chance.
So... which IX... the IXB or IXC? I'm thinking IXC... do any of you Kaleuns have any
IXB or
IXC experience from 1942 or later? (I'm only curious about IXC, not IXC/40 or IXD2) THANKS!!
