Default VIIB to VIIC is it worth 3K?

Is it worth spending 3k renoun on a 7C? I dont see much of a differance from the VIIB! Slower, max depth same, range same, loadout the same. Can dive slightly faster. Or should I just eat the whole enchilada and buy a IXB?

Any other diff between the later type VII im missing? Differant tower? More flak ability?

Slightly?

No no no, those 5 seconds can save your life from an angry plane... though you might sink less ships in one.

If you want to sink ships, regardless of risk, go for the IXb. Personally, I don't really like the US east coast much (!), but its lucrative.

The VIIC has many more upgrades available to it than the VIIB and that 5 second reduction will seem like a lifetime when an angrey Mosquito is after your blood.

Conning towers that allow for more flak guns, is one I can think of off the top of my head. I don't believe the VIIB gets any turm upgrades.

I think the VIIb gets one or two, but less than the VIIc. VIIc can also dive deeper, right?
