IX or VII?

VII - good dive time, at speed you can get her under in something like 25 seconds.

took a IX for a spin a while ago. at flank speed i timed the crash dive...everything was under water at the 50 second mark! would hate to get cought on the surface needing to get under in rough seas from a dead stop or a slow crawl!

I am playing one campaign in an IX... dont care for it, sure it has a lot of torps but it just doesnt appeal to my play style.

i would rather have the nimble type VII.

of course this discussion is as old as the U-boats themselves.
