New IXB / U123

I have the U123 for my new IXB. I went to uboat.net to check out her history and man did she have a good career! I hope I can do as well as her captains did. My question to the forum is this. On Uboat.net it says she was involved in operation drumbeat on the u.s. coast. I thought I had read in earlier topics that a IXB couldnt make it back to France from the US. Coastline? Or if you did you were literally running on fumes on the trip home. The IXC was better for the longer hauls. Can some people give some information on this.
