Should I throw it away?

I think as long as the upgrades such as the snorkle and other jazz are used even a VIIC can hash it out.

The only trade I would consider would be the IXD2 and only if I intended to hunt in the Indian Ocean and surrounding area

Don't toss the old girl aside just because she's a bit creaky, used and worn out! Stick with her, I say....

Don't worry, the enemy a/c in 1944/45 will take you away the decision anyway and scrap your boat for you. :p

Just don't be stingy with plastering your boat with all the neat RWR's (FuMB) like METOX, NAXOS, etc. that's the best life insurance.

Cheers,

Better is better, so you should always upgrade.

The trick is to upgrade correctly. If your IXB is all "pimped up" right now (loaded with goodies), upgrading to a stock IXC, for example, will actualy result in a DOWNgrade since it will come with only basic gear and not all the cool optional things. You should upgrade only when you have enough renown to afford the new ship PLUS all the upgrades that will bring it up to par with your current boat´s upgrades.
