Is it worth it for me to upgrade from the VIIB to the VIIC

Everybody has their own thoughts - but I tend to save my renown until I can get a type IX - or I start SH3 Commander new career (1939 second flotilla) and begin with a IX! The VIIb vs VIIc is a real minor difference performance wise. Biggest difference is the conning towers available and the AA guns they mount. Now the VII vs IX - well - the IX dives slower and is less manueverable underwater - but faster, longer ranged and has more eels... Tis why I would say keep the renown until you can get a bigger boat. More eels and more fuel hopefully translate into more ships per patrol moving in with Davy Jones...

Its really a matter of personal choice - just ask yourself - does the upgrade give you a needed capability that you cant get with normal upgrades? If so, or if you just want to spend it - then go ahead. Its your renown - you and your crew earned it.

Just remember - it takes time to change boats - so your going to spend some time in the dock before your next mission if you swap. Either way - Good Hunting Mate!
