VIIB vs. VIIC

I prefer the VIIB. It is 500 less renown and if you look, it has a longer submerged range than the VIIC by 10 KM or so -- this helps because I do not feel the need to upgrade to the longer-lasting batteries when they become available later (= less renown spent). Not to mention that it's just slightly faster than the VIIC. The extra 3 seconds of dive time that the C has is of no significance to me. I doubt 3 seconds is going to make THAT much difference. Once you're down to about 9-10 meters or so, you become very difficult to hit with a deck gun and 3 seconds later you're passing periscope depth. I like the way the VIIB's look too. In real life, I believe the VIIC's had slightly longer range and could dive a bit deeper, but I am not sure if this is modeled in the game. Someone was saying the VIIC has more hitpoints??? Please, DO TELL!!!!
