Upgrading my tricked up ride

Platapus · 04-02-07, 07:50 PM

It is July 1940 and I have discovered that once again I had been unwise.

I spent a lot of renown trickin out my VIIB. Engines, batteries, hydrophone, wetbar, jacuzzi, primo sound system 1400 renown (I got a good deal from fritz)

But now I have enough renown to upgrade to the new 1940 model VIIC (the one with the white wall tyres) but my extra stuff does not transfer

What ever shall I do?

Is it reasonble to complete this war in a VIIB?

Should I hold on to my classic VIIB until 1943 and get the VIIC/41?

With the execption of the VIIC conning towers, can all the other upgrades fit in my VIIB? Or will I need to get the VIIC to get the cool toys?

And no, I have no interest in the IX.

Chicks dig the 7 nuff said

So upgrade to the VIIC or keep the tricked out VIIB?

Wadda think?

Keep the VII-B. The VII B actually has a slightly greater underwater range and its speed submerged is slightly higher. Think about it like this... if you had gotten a real VII-B in the war and were sucessful with it, and the boat was still fit for sea... why would you need a VII-C? The only thing is... later in the war you can't get the AA firewpower with the VII-B that you can with the C.

If you are going well hang on to it until the VIIC/41 comes along.

Which imho makes you less likely to go suicidal and take on planes, especially if you're running GWX.

i gotta admit i am a IXB fan but i do love the VIIB too, if i knew then what i know now i wouldve stayed with the VIIB

when I campaign I use VIIB then IXB and assuming we make it
that far a XXI at the end just for the experience.

Same here I'm still in my VIIB in '42 its quicker, and when your slow anyway that makes a difference, IIRC it dives slightly quicker too. The extra AA gun is pretty worthless anyway, because I don't really plan on taking on aircraft because if your shooting at planes in GWX you might aswell just abadon ship lol.
