Who Drives What?

Walruss · 02-20-11, 04:57 AM

Ok guys, roll 'em sleeves up, let's have it out...

Who drives what? I know we have our little weasels sneaking around in their type-II's- desperate to get one ship per eel, and fat ones at that.

Or our 'old reliable' foot soldiers, searching the atlantic in their trusty type-VII's

Then there are the tanks of early war, the Type-IX'ers, you guys got one the moment they came out, hungry for more range, and more eels for you to sink those brits with

And finally our Elektroboot'ers, the savy tech-heads who want to make a mark with the last and most advanced of everything

So come on, fess up!

It's been so long since I played far enough to have my choice, but with the next patrol I think I'm changing up for a IXB... head south for the spring!

VII. When the U-BOOTTYPIIA_HAHD mod comes out, II.

I always begin with my trusty IXB.
Then I have two options:
First
1. Keep it like this and upgrade to IXC when available and then install all goodies like radar detectors , decoys etc.
2. Later if I have some good patrols and survive I get a XXI.

Second
1. Upgarde the IXB with anything availabe
2. Take a IXD2 when available and sail to the Far East.

Type VII/C here.

STEED · 02-20-11, 09:37 AM

70% Type IX

20% Type VII

10% Type II (in the Black sea)

As you see I'm more of a IX person and at this very moment sailing IXB. From time to time I do like to give the others ago.

I always have consecutive careers going. Since I recently restarted (for the seventeen gazillionth time) I have a Type IIb with the 1st Flotilla, a Type VIIa with the 2nd and a Type VIIb with the 7th. As soon as December comes I'll also have a IXb with the 1st.

That said, the truth is that until I get my new computer I'm not really playing at all.

Definitly The IX.
Beauty + Effectiveness = The all powerfull IX <333

Although I do drive others, IXB is my favorite.

It's not for the extra eels, as I don't carry external reloads.
I like the stability, surface speed, range, handling, and oxygen endurance.

In order behind the IXB are
IXC, VIIB, IID.

If I can help it,
the VIIC is not for me.

No. The IX Class grows with each new variant.
IX(A)
IXB
IXC
IXD2 / IXD1

The Type X was larger yet (mine layer).

The Type XIV was also a very large boat (tankers).

I like the VIIC/42 m'self.

Jimbuna · 02-21-11, 01:24 PM

Type IX for deep sea and the Type XXIII for coastal work near the wars end.

postalbyke · 02-21-11, 05:18 PM
