Type IX Tactics

Iron Budokan · 03-09-07, 11:23 AM

As I mentioned earlier I was a die-hard VIIC guy but of late have changed to a IXB and then updated to a IXC. Fine.

But in several threads I've heard kaleuns mention you have to change your tactics when commanding a Type IX. Okay, can you give me specifics? What changes do you make in attacking a convoy? Do you even attack convoys or do you hunt for single merchants (i.e. south of Feetown, in the Carribean, etc).

What tactics do you use in the face of heavier aircraft cover? What are these tactical changes everyone keeps talking about? Thanks!
