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.

I'm on my first patrol in roughly 4 years, trying to decide if I should get the type VIIC or the IXC come mid 1940...they both play so differently I remember: the VII is easier with escape and evade but the IX has all those eels in its hold...
