The IXB and IXC both have the same load of torpedoes. 22 of them to be exact.

The IXD2 has 24.

I was talking about SH3's / GWX implentation of it. Not everything about type IX uboats is represented historically correct. Another oopsy is the conning towers availablity. GWX addressed some of it, but not all of it. You still get turm IX/2 too early.

edit: oh yea, according to these blueprints,

the IXD2 had 26 torpedo's, not 24.

Well if you install SH3 Commander, then with each new patrol, you have the option of changing your assigned patrol grid to avoid taking those long trips if you don't want to.

Which = more time on station, especially if your in a convoy route

SINK EM ALL

I'm into my 13th. patrol and conning an IXC.. Got to love all those fish & the 8 flak barrels (1 quad on the deck & 2 doubles in the nest) Routinely end the patrols with 15+ planes shot down.. The only con is the s l o w dive time

Are you playing GWX and if so at what realism setting ? :hmm:

If I'm going after lone ships, then hand me an IXD2. Enough fuel to spend all my time in the middle of the Atlantic, hunting the big loners.

If I'm going raiding on a port, IID, provided it's in Wilm. I hate Kiel. With a passion.

It helps to have 4 qualified flak gunners plus a flak qualified conning officer. I still dive from B24's, Wellingtons and large groups of aircraft..
