Default Is it worth it for me to upgrade from the VIIB to the VIIC

IT would cost me 3000 renown..

I rather just wait to get the IX boat, but if someone could let me know what I would miss out on with getting the VIIC.. I am sure more fuel, but what else?

THANKS

Yes, the upgrade is definitely worth it.

I find the upgrade to VIIC not very worth it. I prefer to pay for better upgrades. Plus theres nothing wrong with a VIIB. Even Silent Otto stuck with his VIIB.

I just think that 3000 renown is a bit steep.

Man I made it till 1944 with a VIIB in the 7th. I NEVER traded it for anything else. Only thing I did was upgrade the living hell out of it. I probably sank over 99,000 tons with that boat and out of the 30 or 40 patrols I did I only lost ONE crewman. It was the watch officer who died when a shell from a armed tralwer hit the conning tower. I'd keep that tub you've got if you have any common since.
