Type IX virgin

Platapus · 06-23-09, 07:36 PM

Even though I have been playing SH3 for centuries, I have always played the Type VII.

I would like to give the IX a try. In starting a new career, is there a flotilla I can join at the start of the war where I can slide in to a new IX?

Or is there a flotilla I can join after the war starts?

I have heard a lotta good things about the Type IX and I am excited about taking it out for a test drive.

Just make sure you're below the surface before the planes spot you

Good range & lots of torps but dives slow.

Watch out for THESE....

okay, i havent played SH3 in a while, but, with SH3 Commander, you can...requisition a type IX from the second flotilla right at the start of the war.

That's true. I've never dared to try and stick out a fight with the RAF though...

To my suprise, i've been sailing a S-18 in SH4, now those are slow diving times when going to periscope depth

I think you need to take into account the fact that the S Class boats were quite old, they were built in the early 1920's and as such their specs weren't up to the same standards of some more modern classes.
