IX-B IX-C Question

gord96 · 07-13-07, 12:42 PM

Hello,

Recently began a career in 41 with an IX-B and I really like it. Besides the range, what is better about the IX-C? Different conning towers? Speed?

Thanks for any info from you long range patrol junkies!

Range mostly and it has an extra torpedo but that may or may not be corrected now in GWX 1.04 im not sure either way adding in the extra torp
that is supposed to be on board the IXB historically is not that hard.

you should see how many extra torps I added without 1.04 :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:
Currently on a IXD2 with 34 eels on board.

I believe the correct number of eel's for the IXB will be changed from the wrong 21 to the correct 22 and the entry date of the IXD2 will be Sept 42 unlike it is now on Jan43 and now the cat is out of the bag a fix for the IXD2 turm. And thanks to the GWX team for letting me test it out.

No room for food, water and toilet paper let alone a toilet.

I have no plans to request a transfer to your boat. :rotfl:

Toilet is no problem.... if you have the need, then you go to the conning tower.
To be assigned to my boat you have to take special lessons at the Kriegsmarine Academie where they teach you how to sleep standing. And about the food.... we start with the fattest crew member....
I always ask for a chubby sailor to be assigned to my crew. :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Hi Guys

Speaking about torpedo's carried on board, I thought the type VIIB
boats did not have the extra two topside eels that was only added in on the
type VIIC so the type VIIB should only carry 12 not 14.

Cheers
