Well, after all has been said and done I still decided to stay with the VIIs for now. I'll definitely keep an eye on the IXC, but I just couldn't get rid of my trusty Atlantic warhorse just yet! I'm finally starting to understand its quirks pretty well, and to change boats at this point would've meant throwing it all away I think...
So I went and got me a brand spanking new VIIC instead. Convoys beware
