, never thought I'd say this...but I'm a total convert. I've gone from been a long term fan of the type VIIC, but now I'm loving the IX. Superior range and weapon stores! The only gripe I've got is it takes about 5 minutesfor it to go under lol god help me after '43! AALLLLAARRRRM!!!!! "Ok lads, all set she's going under, I'm off to make myself a brew, back in 5!" lol.

Kaleuns,I just admire the shape of mine Type IXB U-123.You know it's like a large,mighty Gran Tourismo sports car,ready to hit any distance.I think it's more beautiful than any other submarine ever created.

Little question here,Kaleuns.Do you know,whether Type IX U-Boats were camo painted in real life?Looking through old black and white photos,and all of them appear in plain grey,perhaps light grey colours.Moreover,found nice info on plain white U-boats!
