Stick with my VIIC or get a IXC?

and more eels and more flak earlier...

I suppose this is what you mean...

Just kidding, that's called cheating...:rotfl:

Hummm....all that AND a bag-o-chips in '39? :hmm:
I get into a IX the first chance I get and never go back....

Sorry but I´ll hijack this thread for a question......

I have my trusty, rusty IXB.....is it worth to upgrade to IXC when the
time comes?? :hmm:
Does the "C" get more upgrades?

IXC all the way. It's by far the best platform for sinking ships due to the large range and number of torpedoes. To enjoy it though you have to enjoy long patrols in distant waters. Later in the war trying to attack an escorted convoy is a virtual death sentence but there are ways you can use your size and range to your advantage.

As far as IXB is concerned: Yes change it for a C Type as soon as possible as that way you will have all the latest upgrades.

Thanks Mel for that quick response.

thanks folks!

well IXc here I come!

But just right now I am so fed up with it!

I mean I raid a convoy and as the pesky escort seems to love me so much I give them back something... a small part of my boat...

Grayson02sept1980; If that is the case You are doing something wrong. Do you honestly think a bigger boat with more torpedoes is going to fix that for you?:rotfl:
Geeezze. I see the IX fans jumping on this bandwagon probably not reading your first post through. I have read some jazz here before, .
