Default Simple Question: VIIB or VIIC

Ahoy, Kaleuns! I'm in Mid '40, with my pretty VIIB and now, BdU offers me the brand new VIIC... What do you think I should do? Stick with my ol' boote, or change it for a brand new class? THX A LOT!!!

i ran the Type VIIB U-46 until about late 1940, then I upgraded to the U-471 Type VIIC after that. there is not much of a difference at first, but later on the type VIIC has far more upgrades then the Type VIIB does

Change Flotilla and invest in a Type IX.
If you're going to upgrade do something radical.




Well as radical as Bdu will allow.

VIIC

More goodies...
Dives faster...

The speed differential is a non-issue.

I'm more of a IX type guy, so I tend to keep my VIIB until the IXC becomes operational. Nevertheless as Penny said the Type VIIC has loads more upgrades than the VIIB so if you want to stick with a Type VII I recomend it.

VIIC's do not reduce in price like the IX's do... unless you alter your basic file yourself...:hmm:
