Cool video! That took allot of work. Looks more like the whole kriegsmarine! Either that or you have some super-huge secret sub...:hmm:

Joking aside, ...

Your post is a very good description of the Type IX. I haven't used it much. Very rarely. I think I may start using it again. I have mainly used the Type II and VII. Maybe that's why the game got so incredibly boring for me. All those different areas of operation sound interesting... except for, well, that South Atlantic one.

GT182 · 01-11-07, 09:31 AM

Yes Type VIIs look great but I have to agree with Ducimus, they are beautiful. But yes some of us are are IXcoholics. And after using the IXD/2 I guess that makes me a IXD/2coholic.

Now if the subnet cutter could be fitted to and IX's bow, we'd have a real pretty sub too. But pretty doesn't always cut it. LOL It's what the IX boats can carry and deliver that keeps us glued to her.

I hate to say it but, in all of my years of owning SHIII, I have never ventured out of the North Atlantic area!

I would love to check out Italy or the Caribbean some time. Event the Staue of Liberty. I never been to NY before.

After my last career got corrupted and I had to do a complete reinstall

I decided on a Type IX career. I'm actually beginning to see why you guys like it so much. I left Wilhelmshaven on April 2, 1940. I patrolled all up and down the coast of Norway during the invasion, but had nothing to really show for it. It's now May 10th and I'm off the Orkneys, picked on a small convoy, put a couple lone DD's on the bottom, etc...blah blah

Point is, it really feels like it's been 2 or 3 patrols. And I've been everywhere, from the Ofotfjord and Narvik to my patrol grid off of Bergen, to Lerwick and now to the mouth of the North Channel. I've been all over! You're right, I do feel like a pirate: Mookie, the Scourge of the North Atlantic!

If it wasn't for the fact I'm posting from my office pc I'd post a few of my previous IX sigs.
Type IX

dean_acheson · 01-11-07, 11:55 AM

The type IX is more like a fleet boat, that is why I like it better.

The VII is too small for me.

johan_d · 01-11-07, 11:58 AM

On boat choice its often: whatever the problem is, the answer is more power!

But still on V11B here, and I like her very much.

AVGWarhawk · 01-11-07, 01:03 PM

IX is so round, so firm, so fully packed!!!

RE: The whole pirate thing.

I never mentioned that, but you guys are right. i mean.. why else did i play around in the Gimp and come up with this uboat emblem.

Then of course theres umm.. yeah..

The ahh Black Peril leaves Port Royalle... (i mean Durban harbor

, and yes that is a liner you see in the background)

Left a bit of a mess behind me

This By the way, was 110 days at sea.

My views:

Type II -- Nice boat.
If one economizes fuel on the way out, one has enough for a few high speed dashes. The boat requires a cunning commander. I good boat to wonder if one will have enough fuel to return home.

Type VII -- Excellent boat, has good range, fast-enough diver. Good load of torpedoes; probably the most versatile of sumbies.

Type IX -- Slow to dive. Grrr. But this bus will take you places. On the bridge, you do get the feel of commanding a large ship. I'm on my first career in GWX with a type VIIB. Hoarding renown to get a type IX sumbie ASAP. I like world travel
