When is type IX available in career?

If your into the Type IX's (like I am) after you've purchased the IXB you may as well wait until the IXD2 is available before changing again.

If you're using GWX and SH3 Commander the IXB is available with a 2nd Fotilla career start from Wilhelmshaven in December 1939.

I thought they were available as soon as January 1940 at Fotilla 2? At least SH3 commander with GWXGold shows one selectable.

edit: beat to it.

Yeah, looks like I have to wait a little before I get a type iX. I have 5400 renown. I was asking if I should wait for the C since it had i think 3000 nm more range. But sounds like get the B and then maybe the D.

Speaking of renown, how is it calculated? I'm sure there are many historical posts but what goes into it? I use GWX 2.1 with OLCuber. I do play with that green subbie thing that turns red when I'm being detected, all else is realistic except external camera.

Each ship/aircraft has a different renown value and that is multiplied by the realism factoir you set yourself eg a ship at 1000 renown

realism at 100% = 1000 renown
realism at 50% = 500 renown.

I prefer to wait for the IXC because it's the one that lets me hang out around tanker alley and stop off in Havana for a cargo of rum before heading home and making a large off the books income selling it on the black market!

The IXB has no problem going there.

The problem is when BDU assigns you to Capetown.
That should, in my opinion, be reserved for IXD2s.
