Type IXB question

Zero Niner · 03-03-07, 03:06 AM

Just started a new career to check out the Type IX boats. Currently on patrol in a IXB.

Looking for a few tips on patrolling with this, since I've been using Type VIIs thus far.

In particular, is the 37mm gun any good for AA defence? Unlike the 20mm, which has a magazine of 20 rounds, the 37mm is single shot - not my idea of an AA weapon. I'm not sure how it is against small ships either.

Also, I started the patrol with 21 torps - I thought load out was supposed to be 22? Or am I confusing this with another IX model?

Thanks.
