Default Another favorite boat poll

VIIB Used to be my favorite, agile and versitile, and a deck gun with lots of ammo. But the range is very limited and 14 torps somethimes just isn't enough for a long convoy fight. The VIIC is basically a less agile VIIB with longer range. In my personal opinion, The reducion in agility wasn't made up with the addiional range.

As soon as I perfected my evasion mothods in a IX, IXB become my favorite.

Now my favorite is the IXC, the fuel load will enable me to to get anywhere in reasonable speed, have tons of fun, and go back for another patrol quickly. (Thereby racking up career tonnage).

I don't like the tpye II series for their lack of a deck gun. Although I have started a number of careers (including the current one) with it.

I find acouple of minor operational problem with the XXI (Such as the periscope not going high enough about the hull, the boat will expose itself in rough seas at p-depth), but more importantly. Using a XXI will spoiled me to the point that I (almost) forget how to operate other boats.

I have really little experience with the VIIc/42 to have an opinion.

IXD2, in my opionion, is a death trap.
