I can reach New SYork with my VII (no matter B or C) too and head back to the french coast - without refueling!

My Sub has a range about 23.000km

you need ~16.000km to NY and back, so enough room to waste diesel for hunting convoys

(23.000km when running at 8knots...)

I'm a IXB man myself. I though she was a ugly pig compaired to the VII. After using her for a while one can appreciated all the torps and distance she can go. All of a sudden she was a beauty. Currently on patrol #2 and 6 ships sunk, 7 torpedos to go and plenty of fuel to do it

The IX/D2 is the best of the lot just a shame it's 1943 before you can get one.

Not entirely true, IXD2's first went on active patrol around 9/42.

You could, in good concience, change the availabity date.

Where exactly is this done?

Its easy. Just go to the basic.cfg in the sh3/data/cfg directory, FIND, "IXD2". that will bring you to this:

Version3=3 ; IXD2
Name3=IXD2
Month3=1
Year3=1943

Just change it to this:

Version3=3 ; IXD2
Name3=IXD2
Month3=9
Year3=1942

That easy. Just don't go overboard with it. Changing it to say 1941 will not work without a little bit more work.
