Type Ix Or 7??

There are 3 ways to open a can of worms on this forum:

-Criticize GWX

-Talk about Starforce

-ask 'VII or IX?'

:rotfl:

I've seen them all. This one is the least painful to watch.

Ahem OK, just a minor note / correction if you don't mind:

Turned out I had a BIG problem with the VIIB when I first tried it out. That problem is now fixed so I of course did upgrade after all, regardless of loudly rooting for the petite beauty earlier :p

My 1st patrol in it though, so let's see how I like it in the long run...

the differences are similar.
The last one is:
- bigger
- slower
- has more payload
- can go farer
- can go faster (?? dunno the speed of the type IIs I admit... correct me if you like to)
but also
- is not as agile as the smaller one
- is detected more easily

or am I wrong?

Right now I am used to the "Bus" (IXc)

Lets say:
"Canoe" - II
*dunno* - VII
"Bus" - IX

:hmm:

About the VII I am not sure...
same for the XXI... haven't tried that one.....

As far as the IX's go, the IXC seems to be the best balance between having good speed and a little measure of maneauverability. The IXD2 is like some double decker streched bus, the thing is so massive. Its great for raiding convoys and going to exotic places; plus you can actually put up a real wicked AA defense once you get the big guns. The VIIc's and the IXD's are both great boats with their own vices and virtures, really boils down to which style of patrol you like.

Or can I mount every type of tower I want on ever IX?

Cause the D2 is slower... etc.

I am really satisfied with my IXC right now... though I also liked the speed and agility of the VIIc ...

Pretty sure you can get any of the towers for each of the IX's, for the flak guns to be real effective getting PO's with the flak qualification really makes a difference. Is really nice late in the war to fight off the first few planes they send out so you can dive before the squadrons of B-24's show up to carpetbomb the sea.
