I always begin with my trusty IXB.
Then I have two options:
First
1. Keep it like this and upgrade to IXC when available and then install all goodies like radar detectors , decoys etc.
2. Later if I have some good patrols and survive I get a XXI.

Second
1. Upgarde the IXB with anything availabe
2. Take a IXD2 when available and sail to the Far East.

70% Type IX
20% Type VII
10% Type II (in the Black sea)

As you see I'm more of a IX person and at this very moment sailing IXB. From time to time I do like to give the others ago.

I always have consecutive careers going. Since I recently restarted (for the seventeen gazillionth time) I have a Type IIb with the 1st Flotilla, a Type VIIa with the 2nd and a Type VIIb with the 7th. As soon as December comes I'll also have a IXb with the 1st.

That said, the truth is that until I get my new computer I'm not really playing at all.

I usually like to start in 1939 with a II, once I've earned enough renown, move up to a IIB, upgrade a few things, and when IXC comes out move in and upgrade as much as I can and see how long I can go. I have never made it long enough to get an XXI.

Type IXB at the beginning of the war, and then I upgrade to a IXC. The IXD2 has nice range, but I hate its handling.

I'm a Type IX'er. I like having the available range to go out for extended periods.

From time to time I'll go out in a Type IID to play Ninja of the North Sea.
