IXB, IXC, IXC40 and IXD2...

The second career I played I wanted to try out the type IX boats. Since I knew by the time I saved up 9000 rewnown for the IXB, the IXC would be available soon enough I waited to get the IXC figuring it was a slightly better boat. Here's the thing- Recently the IXC40 has been available, at 7500 renown. The annoying thing about getting a new sub, even a derivative of the hull you already have, is that you have to re-buy all the upgrades. Later in the game, this gets pricey; in fact a lot of times it simply seems better to upgrade an older boat than to buy a modern one.

Right now the only difference I see with the different type IX varieties is fuel capacity. The D2 looks tempting because it has something like double the range of my IXC, plus it has more external stores. Anybody have some good suggestions? It would definitely be cool to roam the south atlantic/caribbean in '45 in a D2, continuing to wreck havoc up to the very end of the war
