Type IXB in 1939

Gezoes · 01-20-07, 04:11 PM

I noticed I can start in oktober 1939 (note: only VII's in september, adjust with SH3Commander to oktober) in a IX out of Wilhelmshaven...

Not that I sank anything on my first patrol though. Got beaten up badly by 4 DD's and had to hurry back with my tail between my legs. Close callus maximus.

Patrol 2 comin' up. AM51

The VII's are quick and swift, however, ever since I first got the game, and even with GWX, the IX feels more and more like my boat.

It is I guess

IX is a very good boat. It's a bit big and dives slower than VII but it carries a lot more torpedoes and has a huge range. I always chose it as it gives me the oportunity to reach far away theaters of operations.

yea the IXB is pretty good
you can leave from kiell and go all the way to new york and back again (speed 8-9 knots) with enough fuel for 2000-3000 km still
and loads of eels

I like to start with a II. It makes me feel like I'm really progressing when I get upgraded to a bigger boat

My last career went to the bottom, not much hunting it was like a barren sea out there. Now back with my new IXB boat and coming across plenty of targets, had a run in with destroyers banged up my boat three times and one of those was real bad but I am still here.

Hartmann · 01-20-07, 07:36 PM

IX is a very good boat

is only a bit larger than VII but load 22 torpedoes and a big 37 cm flakgun,
with supercharger runs at 20 knts.
great for happy times convoy attacks.

I always used IX boats since aces of the deep .

sorry but i coul´t resist the temptation of put a screenshot of my favourite boat

Myxale · 01-20-07, 11:10 PM

HEY!! Thats my Boot! HARTMANN!

Bugger!

Who gave you the keys! Is my LI drunk again!

But i agree! I so luve the IXB ITs perfect and all ...Manly!

I hate when i sail the smaller ones and i take a look over the tower all i see is this small and tiny foredeck and bow!

Makes you feel...um..different!:rotfl:

Hay Hartman Where did you get the officer's icons?

Brag · 01-21-07, 12:11 PM

That's the best looking sea cow!! :rotfl:

When still in stock SHIII, I did 3 patrols in a IXB --Loved it!

Then started my GWX life from scratch. One patrol in a II canoe. Now in a VIIB, hoarding renown for a IX sumbie. 2-3 more patrols and should have a IX by mid-year 1941.

If I live that long. Got the bazonks pounded out of me after a convoy attack. It's a lot more difficult to acquire tonnage on GWX
