Default Why upgrade from a VIIB to a VIIC?

Hi

On my 7th patrol (with the GW 1.1 mod), I accidently overheard some of my crew badmouthing the U-51, my trusty Type VIIB boat. According to them the VIIC's are all the rage. But when challenged about their mutinous speech, they fell silent. Even when I threatened to aim them at the next British trawler and flush them through the tubes, they refused to tell me why on earth I should go from a VIIB to a VIIC.

But maybe some of my fellow kaleus here can tell me?

thnx/EoE

Because of 3 seconds less divetime, and more modability.

My VII with my crew can get under in 17-19 secs from the time I hit C button.
