Here are a few more questions :
Do you get faster dive / climb times from removing the deck gun? Since most merchants seem to be armed anyways I don't tend to use it much. Probably could do without. I would imagine it creates a considerable amount of drag.
Can escorts hear you blowing ballasts? And is there a way to trim the sub's buoyancy? I noticed it kind of always has a slight negative buoyancy and it gets annoying when you want to stop the boat to wait for the convoy to come closer.
What is the optimum number of days spent in base to set SH3 commander to if I want the war to last long enough for me to get the renown I need for the XXI in '44?
And generally speaking, which boat do you guys prefer to command? My first failed campaign was in a VIIB and I started this one in an IXB. Big differences but I can't quite decide which I like best. Having enough renown for the XXI seems to require that I save it until then and forget about switching to an IXC or IXD2 in the meantime so it's really between the early VII's and the IXB...
And thanks for the warm welcome folks. Much appreciated :P
