, never thought I'd say this...but I'm a total convert. I've gone from been a long term fan of the type VIIC, but now I'm loving the IX. Superior range and weapon stores! The only gripe I've got is it takes about 5 minutesfor it to go under lol god help me after '43! AALLLLAARRRRM!!!!! "Ok lads, all set she's going under, I'm off to make myself a brew, back in 5!" lol.

Kaleuns,I just admire the shape of mine Type IXB U-123.You know it's like a large,mighty Gran Tourismo sports car,ready to hit any distance.I think it's more beautiful than any other submarine ever created.

Little question here,Kaleuns.Do you know,whether Type IX U-Boats were camo painted in real life?Looking through old black and white photos,and all of them appear in plain grey,perhaps light grey colours.Moreover,found nice info on plain white U-boats!

I must admit the more I play the IXB the more she grows on me.... :hmm:

I have been going through the naval school to improve my hunting and firing skills a bit. There is no way I could go back to a VII or a II. I cant cope with so few torps. I look at the screen and think 'where are all my torps'. Its just wrong!

I'm back guys. U-107 is big, she's beautiful and she's mine.

Hello fellow Kaleuns:
Started a new career with an IXB sub, and I must say it's a big difference with the other types. i think that from now on this will be my choice. Wow, what a piece of machine!!!!

I hope I can be admited in this club.
Thanks a lot.

It's Aug 1940, I am in 2nd Flotilla, using U-48 Type VIIB.
IXB is already avaliable, but when can I buy a IXC in current career?

I believe you can find this kind of info in the GWX manual
If you play without mod: use the ?-button in upgrade screen.

I think all U-Boats have got their own spirit.Some of them are very successfull,some get sunk during the first patrol.And some of them are immortal and mystic - like Type IXB U-123 U-Boat.

Just look into those facts:

* 12 patrols and over of 220 000 tonns sunk during the whole war.
* Scuttled in August,1944.
* After lying on the bottom for a whole year,the U-Boat is raised by French forces in 1945 and becomes a submarine of the French Navy.
*Another 14 years of service until 1959.
*Nobody knows where the U-Boat is now,as it was decomissioned in 1959.

Will anybody say that this U-Boat is not of the very special kind?
