Type IX for a change

I loved my Type IX. Put the long tower on, quad 20mm on the rear wintergarten, and dual 20mm's you can tear most aircraft to shreads until late 43 or so. I like the additional torpedo's as well. The IXD2 was hard to drive though. Slow on the crash dive, slow in the turns, crawls when submerged..... but her top speed is nice when on the surface.

I love to sit with my Type IX between the west coast of Cuba, and Cancun, Mexico. Big fat unescorted tankers, and if the weather is good, you can use the deck gun. That 105 will set a tanker ablaze very quick, and will sink fast as well. On my way to that spot I liked to pass by the Azores, it is hit or miss, but you can sometimes find tankers there in a 2-3 ship all tanker convoy.

And if you feel really frisky, I like to hunt off the coast of New York. The water is shallow though, and you have to be very weary.
