welches boot? (which boat)

[Scheisskopf]

which boat, in your opinions, should i use; the large IX or keep a VII and upgrade it?

i like the idea of having long patrols to distant parts of the vast oceans and sinking tankers and whatnot with the IX, but i also like the type VII and sailing around England and the middle atlantic picking off ships from convoys.

i cant decide and would like some of your opinions about the pros and cons of the two types.

thanks
