When to buy a new boat?

Incubus · 10-11-06, 10:52 PM

This brings up a good question. Right now I have a type VIIC and I really like it- every few months those propellerheads in deuchland invent a new little toy for my sub (most recent is radar detector and ladder pattern torpedoes). Thus, my sub gets a little bit better each patrol. I am considering getting a type XXI when it becomes available, though, simply for the torpedo loadout.

"When to buy a new boat?"

When the old one brakes.

Part of the answer will also depend on what mod(s) you might be using.

With NYGM I'd go for the VIIC. Has slightly deeper max depth and slightly faster dive time. Can also have more upgrades than VIIB. I suspect a IX of any description will be VERY tough after mid/late '42 - simply too slow to dive and a bit ponderous when submerged. It's also a bigger ASDIC target....

I never buy new boats. I go for upgrading the one I start with to the max whilst still getting promoted of course!
