Best range in a IXC and IXC/40

Just wondering what your best ranges are guys, With and without engine upgrades.

I can get about 25,000 km out of the IX when I used it last in stock, which is bad considering I can get about 20,000 out of a VIIC in GWX. So What is the verdict, how far does yours go?

As many times around the world as you want if you don't select 'Limited Fuel'

LOL I won't do that. I always have limited fuel.

And don't forget about the Milchkühe!

IXC + Milchkuh = unlimited range

Should be around 30k kilometers without refueling.

More if you remember to load some paddles instead of torps in your external reload tubes. Put those men on rowing duties!

Just arrived USA coast, Cape Hatteras. Used a lot more fuel than anticipated due to bad weather. A little over 50% remaining (U-67. IXC).
