Happy Hunting,

I would have to go with the Type IXB, as i play unlimited fuel, limited batteries. Though, if i use the XXI in '39 mod i use the opposite.

True statement

I wish I could have a IXA out of Wilhelmshaven right at the start of the war. But I can't, and I've never played far enough into the war to get a IXB.

So I guess I'm no help at all.

Statistically, and due to length of time available, I prefer the Type IX-B. The dive time is slightly faster than later models, and I actually like the lesser range that it has compared to the Type IX-C and onward. (Less distance to travel on my missions.) The greater surface speed, extra torpedoes, and extended range of the Type IX-D2 is great, but the draft is also greater, and the dive times noticeably slower.

(At least according to the game manual. For all I know the GWX mod has changed this.)

Good question, I've always upgraded my boats, never stuck with one to the end, I can say I don't bother with the IXC/40 just strikes me a economical fuel boat. I must say, I do like taking the IXD2 down under, less planes buzzing around.
