Buyer's remorse.

[Puster Bill]

OK, this situation has happened several times now.

I start a career in 1939. I go ahead and cruise through the Happy Time, sinking a metric buttload of shipping and racking up a bunch of renown.

Then, in mid-late 1941, being somewhat prescient I decide to trade in my Type VIIC for a IXB or IXC (depending on when I do it) to try and get in on some of that Paukenschlag action.

I'm always disappointed with the Type IX. They just don't handle as well as the VII. I usually end up getting killed fairly quickly with one because I'm used to being able to dive quicker, and to change depth and direction quicker. I know it's been said that that with the Type IX's you have to think farther ahead, but that just seems to make me more timid. Couple that with the fact that it takes forever to get anywhere, and it just doesn't seem to suit my command style.

This last time, I violated time and space and reloaded and got my old boat back. Couldn't be happier.
