VIIB or VIIC

Both boat types are good, but VIIC has more upgrades once you get to 42-43 onwards. It's all a matter of preference I suppose, but few VIIBs were still in combat service in 43-45, and all that were had been lost. So I just stick with VIIC in all cases during 43-45 because of this fact. I also find the 3 seconds really makes a difference. Sometimes the 27 seconds even is not enough to avoid damage from aircraft. At one point in a VIIC in 44, my boat was bombed, and I took heavy damage despite the crash dive. 3 seconds more on the surface would have resulted in certain death.
