In IX, you don't have to patrol where they tell you, just go anywhere you want, use all torpedoes and ask base for permission to return by radio. The only thing I like about IXD2 is torpedoes and AA (although late VII can have the same AA), but I hate everything else.

Switch boat when it gets too boring.
After the late portion of 41' and more and more of the the merchant ships become armed. Some get them sooner than the others, by 42' pretty much any merchant you come across is gonna have some sort of cannon or multiple machine guns mounted that gnaw away at your hull. I just take the deck gun off, makes the emergency dives a little bit fast (about a second); too bad you can't use the extra space created to store more torpedos.......:hmm:
