Thanks for the feedback - didn't realize that the Type IX was not 'already' in service, September 1939. After all, the IX was more directly based off the Type I than the VII was. GWX/SH3 commander seem to allow me the IX in October 1939, even with historical u-boat dates enabled. Just so no one thinks I'm hating the VII, I respect both boats...the IX is just more my style. The VII, with its more limited range, was more (and, as history suggests, overly) managed by the leadership. The IX was given more to commanders of proven ability but, more importantly, SENSE. Men who would exploit an opportunity, but not risk their boats foolhardily. Men with the demonstrated ability to act independently, and efficiently, in their own sphere of operations. All BdU expected in return was they text on their iPhones upon their return. The Type IX commander was of a more independent mind. A privateer, of sorts, in modern times.
