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
