Please, if you want to excape the wrath of a IXer all you have to do is sidestep once every ten minutes.

IXB was counted msot succesful sub on the German side in all of WW2. The AK-47 is rated in the top 10 guns of the world but could easily be beat by some other guns F2000 L8 etc.

Usually its not the gun the really counts though its usually whos bullet hits first :p

Well apparently they also said the Gato has 10 bow tubes or some such rott? Suuuureee.

I personaly think the type9 uboat fandom isn't so much the boat, but how a career game ends up being played out in one vs the other.

The most succesful German submarine of WW2 was U-48, a VIIb type. That's a fact.

Statistics matey!

The VII is the best U-Boat in the same way that the AK47 is the best gun.

There are better boats/guns in terms of performance. In most conditions the IX performs better than the VII.

What makes the VII and the AK47 the best is the way they have become iconic.
Ask people to draw a famous rifle and they will draw a AK47, ask them to draw a famous sub and they will draw something that looks like a VII, even if they have never heard of a VIIC. (ok, so many people will draw the Beetle's sub, but the VII will be a close second

)

That is why the VII got #1.

You linked 1 boat now just find the statistics for all the other IIB's compare them to the IXB's and tell me what you find out. Also using wikipedia to back up an argument is a bad idea wikipedia is a open sourced information center anyone can write anything that they want about it. So NEXT time read the full post. Oh and heres my backup. http://uboat.net/types/index.html

Would you look at that IXB most victorious IIC workhorse IIB awww nothing. And unlike wiki this is a good source which contains captains logs etc. Now next time promise me you will look up the facts arguing yours before you go ahead and make yourself look like a fool. Ive been around discussion forums quite a bit mostly bf2s.com Debate and Serious Talk section. So I do know what im talking about.... most of the time

, and this is that most of the time.

Quoted from U-boat.net

"Type IXB was an improved version of type IX with increased range of 1500 nautical miles and slightly heavier. The designed was improved again in the IXC type.
This type was the most successful overall with each boat averaging over 100,000 tons of sinking. They had 23 torpedoes stored which gave a determined U-boat commander a serious striking power which could be used night after night against the same convoy, as was often the case.
Perhaps the most famous IXB boat was the U-123 under the command of Kptlt. Hardegen which opened up the attack in the US waters in early 1942 known as Operation Drumbeat. U-107, under the command of Hessler, made the most successful convoy mission of the war over with close to 100,000 tons sunk out of Freetown, Africa."
