Dont the russians have a sub that looks almost like a complete ripoff of this thing?

Not really, at least no more than the Tang class. The XXI was extensively analyzed and features implemented in others designs, but not copied wholesale like the Tu-4 was copied from the B-29. The Zulu for example had three shafts, a rear torpedo room and a conventional pressure hull (not an asymmetric "8" figure).

I had a similar problem with Type IX.Through SH3Commander I use "Historic U-boat availability dates" and "Realistic career length".
So in October 39 Type IX becomes available and costs 9000 renown points.\Second flotilla\
But every time SH3Commander retire my Kaleun (after 6-7 patrol's) before I could gain enough renown,and when continue my career with a new Kaleun I lose the renown and start with 1500.

My solution to the problem was to change the value of my renown points
instead of changing cost value.
Just go to: My documents\sh3\data\cfg\careers\"player"\patrols_. Open "Patrols_" (in my case file name is Patrols_0) near the bottom there is a line "delta renown=****" and change the value. MUST BE IN PORT!!!
Good luck

Certainly the quickest and easiest but will only work if the boat has reached its availability date.

Yes I forgot to mention that. Type IX becomes available in Oct 1939 and I usually do the trick in Nov-Dec 1939.
